Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Another 10 deckers at SH would be welcome. Not a big user of the 89's but do notice a fair few with substantial single deck loads so may be needed for the peak periods especially. They'd also be good as cover for the 10/10A, 352 and other fairly busy routes at SH. Not sure what sort of vehicles Arriva would go for but my money (if they're still available) would be more of the previous model Enviro 400's as this is nearly becoming Arriva NW's standard vehicle now. Didn't mind the Wright StreckDeck SH has on loan at the moment and looks/feels a lot better on the inside than out. It does seem a little down on power compared to the Enviro400's and previous decker types and it's Merc driveline is a bit unproven compared to the Alexander Dennis alternative. I do like the new Enviro 400 and a few of these with Arriva NW would be great IMHO.
