Arriva North West - Winsford Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot
Would it then be likely the Centros may move to Merseyside depots in exchange for Cadets as cheshire have no such age restrictions and the Centros would have around another 2 years left then?

Shutting down Winsford engineering side isn't a good sign. So the Macc buses will then have to go all the way to Runcorn for routine maintenance and repairs?

Also worth noting that in the next month or so, Winsfords engineering department witll be closing, with regular routine maintenance being carried out at Runcorn, and small running defects being rectified at Winsford. I should add theres no immediate plans to close Winsford depot completely, and traffic operations will continue as normal.

Coincidentally, Runcorn's 2547 is on loan to Winsford.
