yer the must be always problems with them,im not sure if we have enough of these deckers to cover the pvr of the route,A rumour a few weeks ago was we were getting a couple more low floor deckers to cover which i can see happening because we prob need low floor deckers for the pontins route and other various routes through the summer i.e flower show.

i have heard the ex blue bus low floor deckers was/are for you for the 375/385 to make the route fully DD but we will have to wait and see but them are good buses and i would enjoy sitting on one for 2 hours Smile

4000-2 are supposed to go to Southport upon the arrival of the Hybrids in Birkenhead (early 2013, still 6 months away!)

Thanks for all the updates guys.

Thanks Skemnational I was thinking about the summer cover, thought it would be wrong to use the school deckers for Pontins etc as their not really pushchair/wheelchair friendly.

4103 is finally back and in service after P&P treatment which completes the program for Southport.

Marshall V637 DVU (7637) hasn't been "P&Pd" properly yet, though...?

It may not be as it has been suggested all Darts will be leaving over the next 6 months or so.

What would replace them B10, have you heard any whispers.
I must say the Marshalls have been very unreliable lately though.

I'd take a wild stab in the dark at '55' plate Cadets. Weren't quite a few displaced off the 79 when the new Geminis arrived?

No 55's were replaced from Speke, but a fair few of Runcorns should be replaced in the coming months when the new Gas Buses and high-spec Pulsars come. So my money would be on Cadets, too!
