Yes these were the last new deckers at GM and for MTL mate in June 1998. Mind you in the 90's GM did become 100% Titan before the Palatine 2's so a lot of older Atlantean's did get withdrawn at GM too when they soldiered on at GL LS GA/Speke till about 1996. Also the failed Merseytram project and GTL's financial demise created uncertainty for new vehicles for GM. Even if it had have gone ahead it would have taken passengers away and routes maybe would have become feeders for the trams. I suppose if Arriva don't get the new deckers for GL then say having these new deckers for the 14's and getting some more for the 20/21 (which I think need them just as much) would be the best compromise.
