Since Gillmoss is starting to repaint their vehicles into the standard 'Metro' livery ahead of franchising next year, when exactly will Arriva be following suit? We know that St. Helens will be the first area within the LCR that will be franchised when it rolls out next year.

Arriva already has with the purchase of the new MMc 200 in the Metro livery. But as for anything else it will be a case of wait and see which garages are owned by who. No use St helens let's say painting the enviro400 if they fail to win St Helens. It would be safe to say whoever gets which depot will more than likely be filled with new vehicles...

The end of the 303-MX10 fleet at St Helens has been confirmed. There all parked up round the back with ticket machines removed. Seeing as we got 8 from wty and with 2949 and 3002 already moved on these 6 will be moved on elsewhere.
