2160 is a temporary loan while the 45**/46** go for refurbs as 2615 and 2549 are also only cover while the refurbs and eminox gets done.
Once these are done they will go either back into the pool or withdrawn while 2160 will go to where it was suppose to go.

Im surprised St Helens are getting Commanders although it makes sense with Wythenshawe needing Pulsars for Euro 6, I thought 2508 would be the last one to see service at St Helens.

The Commanders are only a temporary fixture and seen as a stop gap as there are some other movements that are still waiting to be confirmed so won't be around for too long.
