I can tell you that it will not be technobus as all them vehicles depot is now redundant. I can say that it will be operated by a 59reg Dennis enviro. Been in yard from yesterday. Shortly to be stickered up in selwyns own colours..

presume there will be a back up bus as well?

They wouldn't necessarily need one as if the St Helens depot is now closed, the bus will most likely be stored at Runcorn, where one of Selywns Plaxton Cheetah's could be used,.
Yes it isn't low floor but as it isn't the "in-service" bus it doesn't have to be.

No back up bus yet as merseytravel not budgeted for one, but am sure if things become unreliable one will be provided...
