Yeah, no doubt there will be more changes over time as the situation changes - perhaps even when the old Silver Jubilee Bridge reopens apparently later this month.

The only Cadet working off Runcorn Depot is, 2539

It deserves a move to Winsford, unlikely happening though but it wish it would.

Soon the Commanders will be gone too, given there’s very little difference in age between them. Wonder what will replace them.

There are only five of them at Runcorn, so surely it won't cause too much of a decrease in service.

I believe Runcorn no longer want to acquire any more Pulsars from Arriva Merseyside.

Unfortunately they don't have a say in what they get , head office choose where the fleet end up and if they say pulsars from Merseyside then its pulsars from merseyside.

Been told that the SJB has been reopened this afternoon how long will it be before services are diverted to use the SJB?

The Runcorn Silver Jubilee Bridge was opened today Friday at 3pm but buses will not be reverting to it yet for a few weeks owing the routes registration changes so will continue using the Gateway Bridge.
Looks like it's all down to Halton Council not been able to confirm any opening dates and the bus companies have to give several weeks notice to the traffic commissioner the change the routes
