They're all on 55 plates (2005) are 10yrs old now, think the arriva withdrawal age is between 10&15 years??? Tempus fugit (time flies)! We are now in 2017 so that makes them getting on for 12 years old. Having said that, I remember them going into service about three years ago.

They've probably got another 6 or so years left then before withdrawal, winsford don't seem to have had too many issues so far. What'll be replacing the presidents at wythenshawe any news yet? |

Personally I don't think we have - there's a good few routes left in the North West that are desperately under capacity - with the 7, 8/9 and 53 being the priorities for me I think the 118/119 Mill Park - New Brighton should be a double decker |

The 118/119 are Tenders so they hardly warrant Decker allocation For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly! All my Social Media Links here! https://linktr.ee/TerencePrice |

Possibly the 84 - crewe to chester. Gets very busy around rush hour with schoolkids & people heading to work. Also saturdays are mental. 38 - crewe to macclesfield, we've got 3 geminis but when 1 is off the road macc borrow a pulsar or centro but really we could do with a spare decker or 2 as cover. |
