Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising

RE: Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising
The Streetdecks and the longer Enviros have less seats than those buses as they have two wheelchair bays which is the standard for the LCR going forward. The EVs in Liverpool have the exact same issue where they have replaced buses with higher capacities.

The bridge on the way out of St Helens is signed at 14'6 much like the one by Aintree Asda which the Streetdecks at Gillmoss are cleared to go under. So I can't see it being much of an issue here - but to start they'll have the ability to use 13'10 Enviro 400 MMCs if it was an issue.

In reference to the X3, I believe it is around 5 stops only across the route - the first of which out of St Helens is at the Hospital. I can't recall the rest of them at the moment. Funny that they haven't taken the opportunity to extend the 89s last trips to the Airport either.
