Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Runcorn Depot
I wouldn't expect it to sit in the depot mate, but personally I would keep it on busway circulars, very easy to swap then.
The destinations seem to be pretty troublesome, has the situation regarding rear LEDs been resolved yet mate as none were working last I seen!
Runcorns choice I doubt it is, but I do think that it is a bad idea sending away our original batch of Pulsars when the EcoCity's arrive, were stuck for larger capacity vehicles as it is, and needless to say whenever a Pulsar does make it onto my journeys on the 79C, the capacity has never gone to waste!

Depots do not have any say in what buses are replaced remember when the lost Cadets to Speke while still having Dart's that should have gone

I'd be surprised considering the arrival of the new Solo SRs meaning that we'll be withdrawing all the remaining Paladins from service soon being the only high-floor vehicles left here. Was it not mooted for service at Runcorn until the gas buses arrive?

Note the bit in bold. I said I doubt it is Runcorns choice so I acknowledge that, in which case whoever does decide needs to sit on some peak workings on some of the routes!

7642? V642 DVU? A Birkenhead Dart? The only ones we are supposed to have are 7617 and 7632 mate, unless 7642 has been transferred in?
