Wonder if the PVR has reduced to allow more Pulsars to be freed up

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
I'd imagine that those 4 are completely withdrawn but lots of buses to leave from one depots all at once.

I saw 2524 about to finish its last 33 so those 4 haven’t been withdrawn yet

He has said due off, not off yet. So I never said that they had gone

Yep I misread the post with your reply on, either way they'll be going soon be a shame to have no classic bodied Wrights left in service at St Helens having grown up with them.

4108 and 4109 have apparently returned for schools and a possible 3 others are suppose to be coming too but only for schools from what I've heard.

Stupidest idea ever, take 4 busses that was in constant use, ship them out, replace them with 4 deckers that can't be used for service work..then another possible 4 busses to depart for other depots...wonder what will replace them...plus don't think st helens doing schools. Heard been shelved due to staffing issues

How is this the stupidest idea ever? The depots PVR includes the schools which can have older deckers on, the rule in Merseyside states no vehicles over 15 to be operated on stage carriage work so having 5 or 6 younger vehicles sat in the depot during school times while other depots need older stuff replacing for all day duties makes total sense to swap out the younger buses with the B7's for the school duties. If St Helens didn't have the schools the 6 buses would be move out anyway .
