As I said... I'm sure that if St Helens were in serious trouble, they wouldn't have sent a bus away. What we see and what the actual case is can be two completely different things.

Jackson Street are always sending buses over to Wythenshawe or when it was fully functional Manchester. It seems they are the first port of call if anywhere is short of vehicles.

(*Sighs*) Whether they're in trouble or not, it seems clear that they're able to send a bus away. And as I've said for the third time now, what we see and what's really going on can be something completely different!

St helens are not short as they have enough buses in the fleet its just the fleet are in and out the maintenance dept but i would of thought wythenshaw would of been able to cope with the routes and fleet they inherited from the closure of manchester depot.
