RE: 2021/22 Arriva North West orders & subsequent cascades
Looks like 14 were in use today which were 4710, 4711, 4713, 4715, 4719, 4720, 4721, 4724, 4725, 4727, 4728, 4729, 4730 & 4732. 4733 was noted in Green Lane near the front of the depot so was phottable (the rest must have been out of sight at the back) and a few of the ones leaving were all parked together in the corner awaiting collection, noted were 3029, 4586, 4589, 4590, 4592, 4594 & 4650. I only managed shots of 4 in the end which are here (the poor light today didn't help the other 3 or 4 I photted....)

So do we know what is going where yet, we know of the 6 pulsars that have gone to LS, but not where anything else is going and also these moves will lead to some withdrawals. Obviously we already know some of the Streetlites are sending some pulsars to Jesmond. Thanks in advance

4622, 4646-48 - Green Lane > Bootle

Not entirely sure Bootle need any more deckers personally but there we go

Should it ever occur that a StreetDeck ends up on a route away from the 10B/14, will they be loaded with NSA's for other routes or not? Thanks in advance.

Also, is 4647 heading to Bootle? I saw it at midday out of service at QS between 12/13 duties

Well yes 4647 is, it does say in the post above.

I realised I made an error there, I'm constantly confusing 4647 with 4667. Shouldn't have mentioned that.

Reduced service on 60/61, plus 52s are still reduced by 4 buses pre-covid. Some 56/62/63 need deckers for school trips. Lots of complaints about overcrowding on single deckers. Hopefully with extra deckers and the slight reduced service on 60rd to help with driver shortage, all trips will operate and help prevent overcrowding too.

Saw a couple of Southport links branded pulsars heading along the A570 past Edge hill university towards St Helens yesterday. Could these be going for P&P before transfer to another depot assuming theyve been replaced at Southport by the new Streetlites? Thanks.
