From the Green Lane thread (seemed more appropriate in here):

Is the new 211 likely to be operated by Arriva from the Speke depot? It would make sense seeing as they now have wheel-forward Streetlites to negotiate tighter roads, and the fact they took over a handful of other former HTL tendered routes in the area (i.e. 166/188 and 3/3A).

But saying that HTL still has the 174 in Belle Vale and the 17 in Widnes, so I don't think it would be too far a stretch for them to take the 211 back, which would happily suit their Sprinters?
