Wonder if the reason was due to them coming to you. Of course buses being at the front of a dpeot could be NFS for any reason but be interesting to see if another GL one appears at St Helens, no doubt they will as GL continue to receive mylleniums.

atleast 4 buses are leaving GL. The smaller buses are going to more suitable depots with the larger mylleniums replacing them with their larger capacity and the fact they are more suited to routes such as the 12/13 than the smaller darts and cadets

Yes, I was aware some darts were going to be leaving GL, especially due to the influx of mylleniums.

Allegedly it's not just darts going, two buses should have arrived at Jackson Street yesterday

Not just darts, so I am guessing cadets perhaps.

Wow - something more recent - sounds a lot more positive than vehicles which will be withdrawn in 12-18 months time.

2556 + 2557 are still in service at green lane today.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Could be 2431 & 2551, if it is none of the cadets you can only be thinking commanders or pulsars.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The 'two' I mentioned earlier includes 2236, so there should be just one more if that helps narrow it down!
