The only other Sapphire specification vehicles in the combined North West and Wales fleet are Gemini 2s, Enviro400s (definitely won't be either of those) and "classic" Pulsars. The Enviro300s at Wythenshawe are being converted at the moment but I wouldn't have thought any of those would be loaned out before the 263 is converted to Sapphire operation early next year. To be honest I don't even know if any of the Enviro300s have returned to Wythenshawe in Sapphire specification yet

Can you clarify if it was out in service on those routes, or you just saw it on the busway where the 1/2 run?

No double deckers are allowed on any of the Runcorn routes. This is due to low bridges on the bus ways.

They can operate a couple which dont go under low bridges for example 21 , X30 , 82A none of these services operate under any of the low bridges on the busway so could be operated by deckers if they wanted too.

Two EcoCities had broken down on the 82A this afternoon, one of them was being recovered by RNW by Speke Retail Park, the other one was by Liverpool Airport.
