Unless there off for other reasons or on other work

2953 and 3137 are now regularly on the X30 due to overcrowding because they can hold more standing passengers.

The other vehicle on there was a gas bus today.
I wonder if 2953 and 3137 are allocated to specific workings which see more overcrowding than the other one.

Apparently Arriva are looking to exchange a couple of Cadets at some depots for other Buses to improve the fleet age here

Wouldn't really see much point as more Cadets are due to be displaced when the new gas buses arrive which will bring the fleet age at Runcorn right down.
