Speke depot has lost three Gemini 2s to Winsford and they need replacing - it's as simple as that. There are presently no spare double deckers available and as Commanders are the only single deck type in use at Speke it would make sense to transfer a few extra Cadets to St Helens and once they have arrived then transfer a few Commanders to Speke. Apart from the fact Commanders are a standard type there Cadets are far too small for any of Speke's routes

As Motormayhem has said - it is entirely possible the Commanders could end up returning to St Helens if Speke receives the proposed hybrid double deckers later this year. The X-reg Renowns were replaced at St Helens back in February and the majority returned within a few months after they were replaced at Green Lane by the second batch of Enviro400s
