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 .

I get what your saying and understand the age rule now being enforced, but during early morning run out we can be short of vehicles, and by the 15 Yr old rule for example if we 2 short in a morn and these are the only vehicles spare they cant go out due to age.
