2595 was involved in accident on the 32 today damage isn’t serious but judging by its age it will probably be withdrawn as the remaining Commanders surely don’t have long left now

Plenty of spare parts around so could possibly be repaired as st helens short of vehicles at mo with deckers away for re-paint and daily VOR's

It could be possible with a light repaint at the front and new glass I’m assuming the decker repaints are why the Commanders are still in use

Indeed you are correct. There will be fleet movements also when the new ADL Hydrogen busses arrive.

2963 and 65 has departed for Birkenhead. Unsure if these are short term loans.

2963 appears to be tracking back at St Helens, however 2965 was showing on the 410 at Birkenhead earlier....
Will try for a pic of 2965 this afternoon hopefully....

Since it’s now the only one left in use (if 2164 isn’t in use anymore) what’s the plans with 2160?
