and depending when they arrive, the mylleniums were planned go to Green Lane.

With the VDL DB300 / Wright Gemini 2 no longer available to order soon/currently. The Enviro 400 will once again become the group standard vehicle for Arriva.

Enviro400s seem likely, MX12, as part of a combined order with Southport and Rhyl depots. I believe they are for the 86/86A to displace the B7TLs to other Speke routes and replace at least part of the Myllennium fleet.

I've heard that the new double deckers for Southport and Speke are due in September

Why is the VDL DB300 being discontinued with Wrightbus? Does it also mean that SB200's are also going to end with Wrightbus

It is not euro 6 engined and Wright bus are discontinuing the Gemini 2 products in favour of the Stretdeck (or Gemini 3) and New Bus For London.
At the minute, the Pulsar 2 SB200's are not being discontinued as there is no current replacement.

Can't they order a Gemini 3 then or are they only available with Volvo and Mercedes engines?

It would be nice if the Pulsar was discontinued and replaced with something else as there are too many of the damned things now. I think Merseyside is the pulsar capital of the world.

Are VDL replacing the SB200 for Euro 6? I heard on here that they weren't, and that the current stocks of VDL chassis are being worked through.
If anything, it looks like Arriva will 'do a First' and the StreetLite will become the new standard Arriva single decker, due to it covering many bases.
