You are aware you've quoted a post from July 2012? They're the batch that have operated from Macclesfield/Winsford from new with nothing to do with St Helens..

Good luck with 4027 as it had flat batteries this morning

Sounds about right. Hope they have good heaters though.

I had 2515 home today on the 20:04 37E from Sandbach, I still think this is a nice cadet, Smooth, fast and it doesn't rattle!

My morning trip however...The Loud...Hoovering...Rattly CX56 CDZ...This one has always seemed to hoover, i've never known why either? It's done it non stop for over a year now!

4026 is currently parked up in the decker yard at Bolton.

2499 seems to have a slight knocking noise coming from the rear axle when it goes over speed bumps, anyone else noticed this?

4027 and 4216 are at Winsford. 4027 will be ready for service but 4216 has a few issues at the moment, great shame as it looks well and drives nice.
