Yes, I've already seen that. I mean how long have they been stored at St Helens?
Surely they should see service on schools.

Why? St Helens don't need them as they have two DLPs (which have a higher capacity than the VLWs anyway)

The same reason that they should be elsewhere within the Arriva fleet if they're sat there doing nothing but losing value. I understand what the pool fleet is but if it's not needed, it's better used in Liverpool or Winsford. Or in another part of the country.

You can never predict when extra vehicles will be needed - hence why a number of buses have been retained in a pool fleet instead of being sold or transferred to another division. Apart from that all of the vehicles in the pool fleet (bar the Cadets which will be moving to a new depot) are 15 years or older so don't have a very high book value anyway
The pool buses are stored where there is space for them. Whatever depot a pool bus is stored at doesn't mean that it will only be used by that depot
