From vague memory it follows something like this:

Selywns Cadets (PVR 3) with Selwyns owning a newer YJ51 cadet as cover (based in Sharston)
Omnicities (PVR 3) with Selwyns 82/arriva 2479 as cover
Omnicities and a Wrightbus Commander 2601/2 (PVR 4) Service now 20 minute frequency
Omnicities (PVR 3) Service back to 30 mins, 2601/2602 used as spares until 501 branded
Bendybus (PVR 3) Any available 'modern' bus used as spare/for non type-trained drivers
Any available 'modern' vehicle (PVR 3) Anything under 55' reg was not meant to be used (although did happen).
Wrightbus Commander or decker (PVR 2) New ammended route using mostly and rebranded 2601/2602
VDL Gemini 2 (PVR 3) - Service now half hourly

Selwyns never had a depot in Sharaton when we operated the 500 service and YJ51 EKM was based at Runcorn depot.
