Any ideas what they could be Mac? My guess would be as there's quite a few Commanders left without a future home after they're released from Speke so could it be some of those

Well we were supposed to get Commanders but there was that huge debate in saying we'd be receiving Cadets not the Commanders although i personally prefer and would like it to be Commanders but either way the Route changes will affect all routes 3/4 21/21A 26/27 32/33 mainly.

2520-6 are due here from Runcorn apparently once the new gas buses arrive in June/July.

Are they replacing the Y-UON Cadets as well as going on those local routes (and presumably replacing the Solos heading to Bangor) or will other buses be replacing those?

It seems that way yes. Would be six VDL Cadets arriving to replace the three DAF Cadets and five Solos

Which would leave them two buses down, unless two others are due from elsewhere

Either way thanks for clearing that up

Wrexham will be fine. There's 13 Enviro400 Citys on order to replace the current batch of 11 vehicles

No problem

It would make more sense to send the 7 Cadets from Runcorn to replace the 7 MPD's at Rhyl. Then send the 11 Cadets from St. Helens to Wrexham, to replace the 3 Y-UON Cadets, 5 Solos to Bangor, 2 baby Solos to Chester to replace the 2 MPD's there.

As I understand it the plan is for most of the Cadets at St Helens to go to Rhyl with a handful apparently staying in the North West. As for Chester then my guess would be that 849/852 are replaced by two or all three of the short Solos which will be leaving Wythenshawe very soon apparently
