Is 2572 still here on loan or has it gone back to Bangor?

I believe that has gone back to Bangor.

Just read on the Stagecoach thread that Blacon Pointer buses are meant to be no more than 5 years old (despite their buses being 09 plates), the 12 plate Pulsars are coming up to 5 years so is it likely anything will be delivered here in the coming months for them?

I have heard that 09 plates B7 could end up in Grimsby. And some Enviro300 replacing tham. Cambridge Enviro400 ARE GOING Back. And Chester have having some of Gillmoss NEW E400MMC for the phase 3 RR only what I've heard

The Mmcs due to replace the current Cambridge Park and rides will only be in temporary loan while the work continues, so once they have returned to gilmoss I would imagine you will see 300s on both he x8 and the Blacon Pointers, whether arriva upgrade their vehicles is a matter of waiting and see

Arriva stuck to the deal previously by upgrading cadets to Pulsars. Just see what comes next. I guess they may get the same as what the 26/27 is getting in Liverpool. Bigger order means it is cheaper per bus.

Also, why dont we have one of the low floor minibuses too? It would be good for the DB2 and to expand to some slightly smaller areas.

Chester won't be getting BYD D9URs to replace the 12-reg Pulsars

Dart Y549 UJC is now here, swapped with the Versa CX11 EVH. Anyone seen the Dart in service today?
