They're not being stored. They're to cover 'deckers on rail replacements.

I guess you could count the 200 too.
The Route 200 is Ran by Arriva, But is operated on behalf of Halton Borough Council
So this route is not going anywhere

What I'm wondering is will Arriva shove our soon to be new vehicles (3159, 3160 and 3161) on the 200?

Think you will find thetge tender is for a small bus always as been when it was first started it was run by Arriva using one of the short Ex MTL Darts in a special livery only run from Mursdishaw at the time Runcorn had 807 808 plus 809 two were used the the 3A&3C

Although the tender is designed to use a small bus the actual wording will be on the lines of “no fewer than XX seats”. Arriva have and do use Pulsars on the service, the most obvious example being the peak time extras.

We still need a replacement for 2669 as well as 3159, 3160 and 3161 are due to replace 2698, 2699 and 2700.

Don’t forget that the PVR has dropped by 2 with the 62 being withdrawn so not all will need to be replaced

Think an SR will end up at Runcorn seems all the Classic Solos are going to Wales

3160 is now at the depot, saw it parked up behind another Pulsar 2
Also, can someone provide an update on 3089? Hasn't been in service for a month
