It would only be an additional 10 minutes to St Helens bus station, even less when it moves temporarily to Charlon Way

Which depot operates that 10S?

One option would be to turn right at Toll Bar and then operate as an additional 10A towards Liverpool, or run empty to, for example, Prescot or Huyton.

Would it be fair to assume these are the Pulsars for St Helens (except 2998/2999) and 3126-3135 plus 4707/8 are for Southport? With the rest of the 61 reg Pulsars at Runcorn staying there? Only outlier is 3099 .
