As more B7TL's are being scrapped and more cadets etc, I was wondering what will replace these buses. I was looking through the ANW Facebook group and apparently there was a rumour that Arriva London hybrids will get put into Liverpool. Apparently these units would be HV1 - HV152.

Is this true at all?

There is a clear need for fleet replacement as a large proportion of the ANNW fleet is or will soon exceed the 15-year age limit and, as Arriva apparently still has a moratorium on the acquisition of new fleet for the provinces, it would seem plausible for the 09/60/11-plate HVs to be moved north. Time will tell.
