Heard been shelved due to staffing issues

How is this the stupidest idea ever? The depots PVR includes the schools which can have older deckers on, the rule in Merseyside states no vehicles over 15 to be operated on stage carriage work so having 5 or 6 younger vehicles sat in the depot during school times while other depots need older stuff replacing for all day duties makes total sense to swap out the younger buses with the B7's for the school duties. If St Helens didn't have the schools the 6 buses would be move out anyway .
