From Chester 2641/2645/6/7 transferring in. Cadets 2529, 2543 ,2545, 2553 withdrawn.
2599 withdrawn for scrap apparently needs new rear axle. 2530 withdrawn for scrap, engine problems.
4106/7 supposed to be moving to Winsford, 4414 and 4418 coming from Liverpool to replace them.

4109 4112 are going possibly Winsford but can't remember. Unsure about 2505/2493/2604.

Is there anything wrong with 2529/43/45/53 or is it just due to age?

4414 and 4418 are allocated to Southport which is already low on deckers. Can't see these moving.

4418 was definitely there yesterday parked by the steam cleaner. 4414 supposed to be coming today don't know if it has yet.

The cadets are all going due to age apparently
