So with 4402-10 going to Wrexham, 4411-20 and either 4400/1 or 4421/22 to Bootle, 4000/1/2 to Southport, that just leaves the DLAs left over to be put somewhere now.

Logically seven should go to Winsford to replace the P and R reg olympians.

Managed to catch Pulsar CX58 EUT (2675) on the 2 on Monday, which broke the 59-plated Pulsar 2 dominance on there:

Thought speke were supposed to be getting some of the Enviro400s? Obviously not now wonder what will come to replace the myllenniums at speke? Hopefully not more cadets im hoping the 3 cadets we already have will go as well as they are to small for spekes routes if anything would rather have DLAs back at least they are deckers.

Do the Myllennium's need replacing at Speke though? I wouldn't have thought so yet.

In other news, there are currently around 17 Hybrids in the depot, quite a few still not branded up though and only a week or so to go until service.

How about the Barnsley scrappers?

Seriously though, If 4400 and 4401 do come to Bootle, at least there will be registration uniformity with the Pulsar1s;

2927 (CX58 FZJ)
2928 (CX58 FZK)
2929 (CX58 FZL)
4400 (CX58 FZM)
4401 (CX58 FZN)....

Pity 4402 (CX58 FZO) isn't coming, but no matter, it's looking rather tasty for Wrexham don't you think?.....

I was told Winsford are getting some of the DLS's to replace Olympians

it would appear 819 is on the 419s.

There was an Enviro on there this morning - from one extreme to the other!
