The remaining 58-reg and 09-reg Pulsars will be released when the electric buses arrive

Anything due to go to any of the Welsh depots?

Most if not all of the next batch of Pulsars to be released are heading for St Helens apparently

I got told Runcorn were due 9 Pulsars - unsure if they will be from Green Lane.

Its since been said that plans have changed so its possible Runcorn will get some Commanders or nothing at all

I did hear something about some Commanders going to Wythenshawe so they could be from there - unless that's changed of course

I was encouraged by the news above that Green Lane is gaining higher numbered Volvo B5LHs than Speke. I plan to ride one on route 14 in May, hopefully before any BYDs enter service.

Green Lane is retaining 4800-7 along with 4830-9 and 4841-7. 4850 is due here as well

I have no idea why the 4800-4850 batch wasn't allocated in order but they're an increase in capacity on the 14 and 18 so I guess that's all that matters

Fair enough that the batch is split this way, but thank you for preparing me. As I am mainly riding Stagecoach buses in May, it is handy that these B5LHs are working route 14, so that I can use my Stagecoach Dayrider Plus on it!
