Wrong.

The amount of Gemini's ordered for the 79/82 was on the basis of the 82 running to Speke every 6 minutes and the 79 running to Halewood every 10 minutes, and to Belle Vale every 10 also. The extension to Netherley again has increased the PVR (by 1/2?) and now 3 buses are branded for route 500. It means that if a Gemini is VOR, there are very few spares to replace it, and as such, another vehicle is used.
