RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
Its the first time I've ever seen the 79C bunching before so I'm not sure whats going on there!

With the arrival of 3136-40 for the X1 what have/will Runcorn lost/lose? And are the 1 and 2 still regular Pulsar workings now that more and more Pulsars are finding their way on to the 79C?

Sorry for all the questions!

Runcorn has lost 2934/5/6/7/8, all have which have returned to Wythenshawe and did so upon entry into service for the new Pulsars.
The 1/2 has been mainly worked by Cadets for the past few months now, especially since the new Pulsars arrived, mainly because Pulsars previously allocated to the 1/2 were allocated to the 110, however if the past few days has been anything to go by, it seems that the Pulsars are starting to shift onto the 79C. So all in all, no direct change to the 1/2, the allocation is still mostly Cadets, as well as 7642 and 7617 (If both are still here!) and 2419. But it isn't unusual for Pulsars to be allocated on there, it seems that the Busway Circulars just get anything else thats left over in the depot.

Went past the depot today by the way, 1047 is parked up opposite the gates on Beechwood Ave. An unidentified Paladin trainer was also parked nearest the fence with no sign of the 2 Endurances that were parked there last Saturday.
