Apparently there are reports of Southport withdrawing Pulsars so they can be sent to Derby at the end of next week.

Southport's Pulsars numbered between 2959 & 3018 all listed to leave imminently from a post on the Arriva NW Facebook group.....2959 mentioned as leaving withing the next fortnight, to Derby.

So id guess most if not all 59 plate and below Pulsars will be replaced by these new vehicles that are due.

We're due 8 brand new ones at Runcorn, plus some other buses to replace the 59s and 10s in the coming months, the 8 are to replace 2672-2923, but in the course of that we are also losing 2938, 2950, 2951, 3039 and 3040, in replacement we're getting Green Lane's 3077, 3078, 3162, 3163 and 3164 unless plans change

My gut feeling is St Helens will get a handful of Evoras alongside the 61 plate Pulsars, I am aware Wales may keep some older vehicles due to them being able to keep them longer so some may get sent there.

St Helen’s are getting a batch of 17 plate E200MMC from Luton

No new buses are going to St Helen’s.

Birkenhead will get 16 new MMCs plus a batch of Streetlites from North East.

Birkenhead new buses launch November followed by Green Lane them Speke then Runcorn and finally Southport towards mid December.

Bootles new buses won’t start until next March and they will also get a batch of 71 plate eVoRas from Luton.

Will these buses come in standard Arriva livery or Merseytravel Yellow

You say new MMCs at Birkenhead and Streetlites launch in November any dates and idea what routes the new buses be on

Presume MMCs be 200s not 400s?

E200MMC's and they will be delivered in the yellow/grey/black 'Metro' livery.......I'm assuming all the incoming cascades will also gain the same livery.....
From elsewhere, seems the Birkenhead batch *should* be 2750-2765.
