Are the mercedes sprinters within the merseytravel contract spec as i always thought there was a minimum seating spec within the contract and that the sprinters didn't meet that spec except the 883/897 etc as ive herad people complain in st helens when they have had to catch one of the sprinters on a st helens late tender.

Correct MM, The Service here in question is a commercial service so has no age limit on it, Contracts on the other hand are a different ball game as you sign up to a contract that does clearly state Buses should be under 15 Years old (Among other things like working dests)
