It has no fleet number at the moment. Not sure if it will retain its Telford number or a new one for the North West.
Not sure when it will be out as it doesn't seem to have been touched all weekend.

Its nominal fleet number is 3738 - no clash with existing numbers, so could be retained.

It has been renumbered 3180 and is due to move to Birkenhead soon.

2510 was on the last 310 from Skem tonight.

Quite surprised Midlands didn't do an exchange with one of the former Shires depot they now have control over as they did a swap with a Commander involved in a fatal incident for the same reason last year. One notable difference with the swap is 3738 is a SB200 whilst 2609 is a SB120.

The 60 is just a timing point change

The fundamental problem is congestion from Sir Thomas Street beyond Scotland Road. These routes and others (47, X2 and Maghulls) have to traverse both Tunnel entrances which seem to be permanently gridlocked at evening peaks. I also suspect that the closure or the two flyovers isn't helping with traffic flow northwards out of the city centre.
