2023 Cascade - B10B6514 - 03/04/2023 13:35
Rather than clog the Birkenhead thread, may be it is worth noting on this one the effect off transfers and withdrawals created from the closure of Winsford and Macclesfield plus the loss of Bolton later on this year through the TfGM franchising plan.
As an estimate this should release around 72 vehicles for cascade or withdrawal.

I presume 998/9 will move to Wrexham for the 2 service to Oswestry?

They could be getting swapped out to the Midlands fleet and end up in Telford as they are 2 Versas short. Wait and see I suppose.
