It's very unusual, Service is normally operated by Wright Pulsar, Wright Commander and Wright Renown, Cadets rarely get on there these days

Seemed to be a day of odd allocations/workings at St Helens yesterday, as I got into Wigan about 12:15 I noticed a Solo SR leaving Wigan on 352 to St Helens with the usual Enviro400 on 395, unfortunatly didnt get chance to see which Solo it was.

Allocations will be odd at the momment as i think they are running a little short on buses as 2490 is off the road getting a replacement engine and p+p and 2491 is off for a replacement engine, thats if they are still in the bodyshop.
Then you have the regular breakdowns etc.

RE: Arriva North West - St Helens Depot
With a few spare hours today I headed the short distance down to Belle Vale to have a look at the 89 route. I had decided to ride either to Woolton or Huyton, and this was pretty easy as the bus stops were adjacent to each other.
The first bus to arrive was B10 Renown 2706 going to St Helens. I had not ridden one since they were replaced by Geminis on the 79 in 2011. I don't care that they are fifteen years old they are far better than the Pulsars.
My return to Belle Vale was on Pulsar 2982. Also seen on the route were 2699 2956 2979 and 2705. Also seen at Belle Vale was training bus formerly 2702 looking very smart.

All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles
