They can only go on 15A, 10/10A, 11A short and X2 as that's all that's programmed

One did slip into X55 before it got withdrawn but none since

Thanks for the update Andy. It will be interesting to see if 1 or 2 spare ones stray on a Sunday on the run up to Christmas onto the Mold routes, as the routes seem to load well throughout the year.

Is it true that the 10 and 10A are being reverted to single deckers? Heard from a relative that knows someone at arriva but just wanted to confirm, and if so what kind of buses will be used?

Thanks

I'm sure I read recently on a thread for a Liverpool depot that Joe Anderson wants all of Liverpool's routes to be double decker operated. If thats true and if what your relitive is saying is correct then it would make sense to swap with Green Lane and Speke wth Bootle and Birkenhead being a possibility as well.
The single decker fleet is largely made of pulsars isn't it in Liverpool?

They wont swap them with green lane as the deckers at chester on the 10/10A are sapphire spec so will only go to somewhere who reqs sapphire spec deckers for a route conversion.

That as well is an option but I was meaning painting them to the interurban livery

But they would still have sapphire spec inside and passengers would expect to see that on all the buses when they get on other deckers that dont have next stop announcements,usb ports etc.

Ah yes I forgot about the USB ports and next stop announcements
