I believe that is because the 14 (Liverpool - Croxteth) has had to have single deckers allocated on all the boards because of the diversion down Pinehurst Avenue (because part of Townsend Avenue is shut) and the trees on Pinehurst are very low so causing issues with deckers.

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

10A will get its own deckers very soon anyway, 11101 - 11117 are expected to begin to turn up within the next few weeks!

The batch before these for Swindon is currently being delivered. A few of the buses have arrived and are being prepared for service, so only a few weeks until the Gillmoss buses! I think they will probably be some of the first '68 plates too?

I would imagine so, only a month to go until 68 reg (and with summer timetable until 2nd September no panic to get them out yet) so I imagine they'll get them out early September on 68 plates.

Currently at Gillmoss depot is Volvo 7900 EV demonstrator LF67EVV.

No fleet number yet but I'll keep you posted. An overhead charging point is currently at Liverpool ONE Bus station for this to use.

The timetable for the new X5 is on the Halton council website. Can’t quite work out the route from the description though. (No map)

You won't find a map unless Stagecoach release one. MTravel (like the X1) will likely only show the stop list or will only show the route in Liverpool. Halton don't do maps. Which bit are you struggling with? If you follow the route on maps, it is kind of easy in my opinion.
