They have the same problem with their South Liverpool services I would imagine.

Page Moss isnt far from Gillmoss, its one Junction of the M57 or straight down Stonebridge Lane / Princess Drive.

I was thinking about the services to South Liverpool Parkway,which is well away from Page Moss.
When does the bidding for the remaining Franchises begin?
Presumably the successful bidders will be announced in the New Year.
4 of the Ultroliners for St Helens appear to have been registered,
18935 MD26XRL, 18936 MD26XRM, 18959 MD26XRN,
18961 MD26XRO, and all showing as taxed.

Can ID a few more reg's from that...
4334 YY26UNM
4335 YY26UNN
4346 YY26UOC
4353 YY26UOK
4354 YY26UOL
4355 YY26UOM
4355 is the last of these, with the 8 shorter ones awaited (I assume these will be 5*** as with the Bee Network examples, those being 52**)
Although with these not entering service until 25/10, I do wonder if they might get 76 plates instead...
