There's the diesel powered deckers for Bootle as well - although I'd imagine they'll go direct to Bootle to release Pulsars to Chester (if that plan is still happening)

Cadet CX54 DLJ (2502) is back at Rhyl from Birkenhead, it's currently on 11s.

Is 4481 still at this depot, or has that also gone back?

1000-1012 are due between May and June. They won't be being used for the rail replacements to my knowledge

Are any of 2543, 2545, 4623 or 4627 still here on loan?

The only one I can confirm is that 4623 definitely came back to Bootle, as I saw it on a Bootle route within the past couple of weeks.

I've been looking out for 4627, I've not noted it back over this side yet, though obviously that doesn't necessarily mean anything. As for the two Cadets, I didn't even know they were expected back, so I will start looking out for those too!
