Commanders will be staying a bit more yet, 2615 is mainly used for driver route training mainly...more than likely solo Sr now that the 17 is upgraded to pulsar allocation.

St Helens doesn't need so many Solo's. The 32, 32A & 35 can get quite crowded (especially when the 67x Solo's are on there).

The 3 classic Solos and 2160 are too small for St Helens now so they’ll probably be replaced at some point as well.

Following the 35 frequency Reduction and the 37 extension to Rainford i cannot think of any suitable routes here now, Its clear Arriva North West & Wales have too many Optares

2592 and 2596 have transfered to Runcorn on loan. 716 has returned with 3171 going back to Speke.

6501-6513 were the first Endurances delivered to MTL, and all 13 were new to Jackson Street, and I think 11 of them stayed there for their entire career (6506/7 did spend time at Southport)

A new ADL Hydrogen bus will be delivered to St Helens sometime tomorrow. This is the first of 10 for St Helens to be used on the 10A route.
