Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
2 full size buses purposely laying around spare cost money.
Spare buses happen naturally within the allocation of the depot.
No need to talk about any routes needing deckers, as 80% of all routes in Merseyside should be deckers. This has been mentioned since the year 2000 when Arriva took over and culled them.
Pulsars, B10's etc, are often allocated out on split turns (32's,33's etc) to return them to garage early morning, so non-emergency due maintenance can then be carried out, which is why you often get SR's spare in the morning and thrown out on the last allocations of the day, because they themselves have just come off the pit and made available for service.
