Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
One or two buses have gone along Grange Lane and going towards St Helens, it looks like only two trips have gone that way looking at the tracker. Having done the turn off Gateacre Brow into Grange Lane in a VDL myself I just can't see that way ever being used as it is extremely tight and it only takes one car to be over the line and you are never making the turn.

Oh Superman where are you now, when everything's gone wrong somehow, the men of steel, the men of power, are losing control by the hour.

Wonder if these are to allow 2508 & 2517 to be withdrawn?

Can confirm that I have seen several buses in both directions not using Grange Lane but sticking to the original diversionary route

Both are out this morning but i do wonder the reason behind the Transfer, St Helens does need more Deckers but would this not leave Green Lane short.

Wouldn't leave them short overall would it as GL got one or two of SH's 09 Pulsars didn't they, so I would imagine that they can cope with the two losses.

Short on Deckers is what i mean, Green Lane have a number of routes that get very busy

Yes I know what you meant, I was just saying that they can probably cope, still got 2 full size single decks as replacements.

One Pulsar for two Enviro400s is a poor swap but at least the StreetDecks will be here soon

Was it only one Pulaar, I thought it was two. Well yes that is rubbish, but probably had the street decks in mind at the time of change.
