If the GM had specified so strictly for them to not to have been out on other routes though, I doubt they'd have been out there. Even if they'd been put out by an uninformed allocator/supervisor, all that suggests is that the GM isn't immensely bothered else they'd have ensured the message was fully passed down to those members of staff. Hadn't the GM also said that the X1 Pulsars shouldn't be out on the 79C? They've been reported on there on a number of occasions recently. Operational needs always need to come first anyway and if there's a number of Cadets which had been confined to the local routes as opposed to the longer Liverpool routes which still haven't seen attention, it may have been a case of them not having a choice but to place an Eco-City out on there instead. Especially if they've had 2 Cadets and the ex-Wythenshawe Pulsars off the road today in preparation for transfer this evening/tomorrow.
When I do my next Runcorn & Liverpool trip, probably next year, I was planning to get route 79c back from Liverpool to Widnes. I shall already ride an EcoCity on the Runcorn Busway and leather-seated Pulsar on route X1, but it would be a novelty to ride the EcoCity well outside its intended area.

They are beautiful machines and unlike most "eco-friendly" buses - not underpowered pieces of ****
