On Facebook group seems like Runcorn are gaining 3047 to 3061 and 3077/8 from Green Lane.

Could be part of a bigger fleet movement as Southport and St. Helens are swapping Pulsars over this coming week too.

I'll start a new thread "Possible Jan/Feb Fleet Movement" for details to be added by anyone.

VDL Cadets 2537, 38 and 40 have recently been moved to Bootle depot.

Should be for pool, the amount of Pulsar's runcorn are getting must mean that 2537/8/40 are now for the pool fleet, unless they are for service

If they have gone to Bootle it will be for Service, simply no space to store Buses there

They are parked up with NFS notices in the window at present, so clearly at the moment there is no rush to use them.

I think all Runcorn Cadet's are now just Reserve or Spares buses? for the Depot, due to the Pulsar's

Assuming it as withdrawn, will 4104 be going for scrap?

What a waste to have 4104 withdrawn after being VOR for a couple of years at Winsford, got repainted, now Withdrawn, Arriva have just wasted their money on repainting 4104 just to go on the scrapyard roads & not return to service

Looks like it will be.
