They are doing work on stands 1-3, so they are all out of use. 2691 has indeed broken down, RNW now in attendance

Unless any have been withdrawn over the weekend.

2707 and 2710 were both on the 89 on Saturday

725 has failed at Morrisons on the 17 in Widnes. Seemed a bit of a strange failure, it had cones round it and a pressurised container next to it on one of them jack things. It looked like something to do with the breaking system, but not to sure. Looked like it was waiting to be towed as the mechanic seemed to have gave up.

The 31 dosen't need deckers and yet this appears to be the whole allocation. Be interesting to see if any stay out on lates or if a swap is done.

Is this a route that runs into St Helens Town Centre on a regular basis , if so it could be a service where vehicles could be swopped quickly if needed elsewhere , every depot im sure has routes like that .

The Depot is just over the bridge so getting replacement Buses is easy, The DLPs should be on something like the 89
