How does three double deckers materialise into 5 single deckers , is there anything else going as well. Within that time frame plus 6 months the "X" plate cadets should be getting replaced also |

There are whispers of the 07 plate Cadets from Speke coming too, once again, unconfirmed. Daniel Christopher. |

The depot driving instructor has advised if they are used drivers will have to reverse them on a certain part of the route as they can not 'over curbs'. I rode on 669 on the 175 this afternoon. A bit tight in places but no problems. I'd actually gone looking for a last ride on an MPD and was a bit surprised that an Optare showed up. |

So is it definitive whether the optares will run the 175 , or do arriva have to go looking for vehicles to run this service from one of there many varied areas that operate short wheelbased vehicles . You do wonder how the operator of the 175 before Arriva managed on this route. |

(16/08/2014 15:28)Raawwwrrr! Wrote: Unlikely also as nothing is arriving to replace them A good move would be to simply swap the three 07 plate Cadets with the Y-ABA Presidents and use them on the 699 which will struggle badly with just the recently cascaded Commanders. The Cadets have no place at Speke and are too small for any of the depot's routes. Conversely, the 07 Cadets are better suited to the loads on the 403/413/414 than the Presidents are.
