RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot
Best bet is something has broken down , this was the only spare vehicle at the time available , whats the odds that it does last the full day but itself gets swapped out for something more suitable .

670 was on the 413 due to a bus shortage. This was because Cadets 2424 & 2432 have now been withdrawn from service even though nothing is wrong with them. (Merseytravels 15yr rule) Laird Street depot are now waiting for 2 buses to turn up from another depot. Not sure what they are or where they are coming from.

Could be 2 of the cadets that Winsford no longer need.

The 15 year rule only applies to Merseytravel tendered services.

Sometimes the 15 year rule is stupid at the end of the day a bus turning is better than no bus at all.There must have a few hybrids missing today with 4201 on 437 and 4204 and 4175 on 464.Also 4203 on 410/1

[i]As far as I'm aware the number is 6 and has been all along. Not sure if its changed recently though. According to Arriva's facebook page last year at some point they said March 2016

Thanks for that, 6 doubles in spring 2016 but what else has to be replaced around this time?
The Millenniums and some of the cascaded deckers? I wonder what will replace these?
