How many Sprinters were originally here when new since JZU is the only one left?

BX12 DZG in White (Former Demo)

BF62 JZT/U/V and W in HTL Green

JZU is the only one in active service, the rest are at the depot still and while there is a chance JZV or JZW may return at some point it is unlikely DZG ever will and JZT has been written off.

HTL have lost the daytime 156 to Hattons, the evening 35E to Arriva and the 603 as previously known has been withdrawn but everything else up in St Helens have been retained.

I wonder if the PVR will drop with these changes

It will drop 2 in the daytime and 1 at night. Not a lot but it may give them a bit of breathing space.

With small companies like Htl, think you will find they don't want breathing space, they want all working buses earning their keep as its that what keeps them going

They won't want breathing space but I think that they may need it to help them focus on maintenance of the buses. The less they have out on the road, they more they have in to fix.

More like 4 in the daytime as losing the 156 and 603

I wonder if if a Dart or 2 might be withdrawn since HTL doesn't have much spare normally
