Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The CX58 reg Solos were initially brought in for the 312 and 37/38/356. They were brought in based upon loadings recorded over the much quieter summer period for the 37/38/356 though meaning that they were even unsuitable for that as soon as the loadings got back to normal. They were brought in under poor planning and observations but I certainly think they have a place on the 35/A on which a full size bus or even a Dart is wasted. Not to mention wasted fuel with a bigger/older vehicle.

As has been said, their allocation to the 10/A (10A particularly) is hardly the worst thing as far as allocations go given the frequent nature of the service. Again as per an already given example, their allocation to 352/395s or daytime 89s would be much worse.
