My friend from Southport thinks they are because some idiot keeps putting them down as at Southport when they aren't on buslists.uk but most of the people he's talked to think they're coming here, I guess we just wait and see
I had heard somewhere (Cant remember where) the 14 Plates would come here to replace 2698, 2699 and 2700 once the upcoming Rail Replacements to Kirkby is complete, Apparently 98/99/700 never had Euro 6 upgrades so are being replaced for that reason

St Helens will probably get them to replace the remaining Commanders

Just been mentioned that both are being withdrawn from passenger service at the end of the week.

Doubt they will return as not been converted to Euro6 standards.

Probably won’t but I assumed the Commanders would need replacing PVR must be lower than I thought even with schools going.

The MX14s are in fact coming here, they're just being stored at Bootle (3159) and Green Lane (3160 and 3161) until the Rail Replacements are done

3049 broke down at The Park about 12:05, seen at 16:48 just getting towed back to the depot (was on 674 so picture isn't that good)
