Are these to replace the withdrawn MANs?
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - ashworth600 - 06/09/2023 17:41
question will the mans be going to scrap like the darlington ones are just wondering if anybody got any information
RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot - T42 PVM - 06/09/2023 19:02
Not sure how correct it is but heard the CX58 Plate Pulsars at Bolton will see service here to replace all MANs until something more suitable can be found.

I've heard similar from a reputable source. Apparently due to the massive cost in keeping the MANs going in comparison to a conventional bus.

The North East ones are also being sold for similar reasons

I suppose this was why the MAN's usually ran on faster services like the 61's and X30's rather than the 79C"s which are more stop/start due to their reliability?
Passenger wise they weren't the worst and being full size about right for the routes they were on but not so good they've lasted 10/8 years all things considered.
I wonder if ANW will replace them with new vehicles like the Evora's Bootle got recently or cascade something else to Runcorn?

Most likely Pulsars but as I said on the Birkenhead thread more Evoras will most likely be ordered soon.
