Yes, Believe they will be mostly using the land facing the main Arriva depot

RE: First Manchester

It doesn't mean they are going to have 40 veichles as its just the maximum number of veichles they can have in service on that licence to cover themselves.
As i beleive arriva st helens as a licence for around 200 veichles but there are only about 120 based there but just covers for any possibilities.
