RE: Arriva orders 2016/17
The government figure of 72 buses allows for the planned 51 hybrid deckers to be shared between Speke and Green Lane. This means Speke will be receiving a fair few more than 20 Enviro400 hybrids assuming the plan to use them on the 79 holds. With AIUI a combined 14 and 18 PVR of 24, I would expect 26 for Green Lane and 25 for Speke which should allow for two spares at each depot.

Another question is, with 27 Commanders remaining at Speke, will a further two deckers be sourced from elsewhere to allow this depot to go fully double deck?
