Most likely for St Helens along with 3130 when 6025 returns from repairs.

Are bootles 3134/35 staying where they are?

I’m wondering the same thing thought Bootle were getting rid of all but the 13 plate Pulsars?

RE: Arriva North West - Southport Depot
Bootle received 15 vehicles and 13 have departed so presumably 3134/35 will move on, but two Evora's 3195/3200 have been long term VOR so presumably will move on when they return to the road.

Southport have received 10 vehicles, 6 have left so far, so still four left 3127/29/31/33. Based on fleet numbers presumably another 4 E200MMC to come, which will displace 3168/3212 plus a 2x PVR increase on the 375/385.

With the exception of 2990, the remaining 13 Pulsars from Southport are seemingly destined for St Helens, so far 2962/71/81/83 have gone to Speke and Green Lane as repaint floats. Once the rest join plus 3134/35 seems like all 09 plates will go. I assume 2918/21 may get the chop at some point too

3168 is supposed to be joining Chester with 3165/66/67/77/78/79 to replace older pulsars very soon but that plan may be off now

Wouldn't be surprised if 3212 goes back to Wrexham if 3168 & 3212 are departing Southport, was under the impression they were staying.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if 3212 goes back to Wrexham as well, they were supposed to be getting rid of 3204/07/08/09/10/11 for a Merseyside depot and Wrexham getting Evoras in their place but that plan was scrapped
