They're all on 55 plates (2005) are 10yrs old now, think the arriva withdrawal age is between 10&15 years??? Tempus fugit (time flies)! We are now in 2017 so that makes them getting on for 12 years old. Having said that, I remember them going into service about three years ago.

They've probably got another 6 or so years left then before withdrawal, winsford don't seem to have had too many issues so far. What'll be replacing the presidents at wythenshawe any news yet? |

Personally I don't think we have - there's a good few routes left in the North West that are desperately under capacity - with the 7, 8/9 and 53 being the priorities for me I think the 118/119 Mill Park - New Brighton should be a double decker |

The 118/119 are Tenders so they hardly warrant Decker allocation Content Creator, make sure to follow, Like and Subscribe! https://linktr.ee/TerencePrice |

Possibly the 84 - crewe to chester. Gets very busy around rush hour with schoolkids & people heading to work. Also saturdays are mental. 38 - crewe to macclesfield, we've got 3 geminis but when 1 is off the road macc borrow a pulsar or centro but really we could do with a spare decker or 2 as cover. |
