4491 is a Macc one isn't it, looks like the 3 Speke ones could be heading to Macc as temp cover then.

They dropped 4491 off and picked up one of the speke ones.

What is the latest on the vehicles that are to be moved on once the Enviro's become active? Last I read was a number of Pulsars to Southport & the Renowns to Green Lane, although nothing had been confirmed at that point. What is [if known] latest on this? With 3 weeks to go I'm assuming Arriva would have the plans finalised by now and highlighted what is moving where.
Is it a simple case of 26 in 26 out?

I think the plan is the X-reg Volvos, twelve Pulsars and the two VLWs are leaving. The X-reg Volvos are going to Green Lane and the Pulsars are being split between Birkenhead, Green Lane and Southport. I think the VLWs are returning to their home depots as they're only loans but I'm not 100% sure

Subject to change of course, but the list I've been kindly sent is as follows....

2988-2990 to Birkenhead
2991-2993 to Southport
3023-3026 to Green Lane
3047-3048 to Green Lane
2676 to Wythenshawe
2701-2710 to Green Lane

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Thanks GKA. Presumably 2676 is moving to Wythenshawe as a replacement for 3098?

Well that still leaves St Helens with 35 Pulsars & 8 Renowns. Other than the 352 which always sees Pulsars where would the remainder be deployed. The 89, 320 maybe?

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
The 89 is a definite bet I'd say, the 320 already sees a large number of Pulsars and I'd expect to see it retain these. I do see the 329 as a potential candidate for Pulsar operation too..
