Arriva North West - St Helens Depot

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
They are primarily for the 32's and 33's, but as we know with the Pulsars, they are going
to end up on anything local as required or allocated. So i would say only Wigans, Liverpools, and 89's should be counted as anything like a rare sighting. All are expected in service at the end of the month.

New Solos are B37F. From the loadings I see on the 32/A (aside from the obvious peak journeys), the Solos should be fine.

They won't be to small for the 32's. I use the route daily and can honestly say that apart 2 or 3 trips, one being morning and the others afternoon/evening and possibly match nights they will have enough seating.

I'd be inclined to say it's not looking good for it. There isn't any Paladins on the Used Coach Sales site (UCS use yards such as Ogdens and Warrington Coachways to store buses they have) meaning I fear the remaining Paladins are to suffer the same fate as the last few Ultralows, i.e get engine cut out then sent for scrap.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
Thanks for clearing that up
I wasn't sure of the exact course of the previous Scanias, I just know that they were passed onto UCS for some reason then for eventual scrapping, my understanding was it was at UCS that their engines would be cut out. Thanks again
