No problem

A number of ex London ENS class Enviro 200s will be passing through here in the next few weeks. Unsure of an exact number, if they are all getting all the conversion work done here or if work is being split with bus and coach world, as was common in previous London conversions.
These will be single doored, refurbished, and be allocated to Southport. These will displace Pulsars, which will move to Runcorn to displace SB120s for reallocation or potentially disposal.

I'm guessing the SB120 will be the 54 plate Cadets going

ENS’ sound a bit small to replace Pulsars?

I think it would make more sense to send them to Runcorn it’s self I don’t think they’d suit Southport as well as Runcorn since the Cadets are a similar size to an Enviro200.

It's not quite a done deal yet allocation wise although Southport is/was the original intention.

These are the shorter version so are smaller than a cadet

They’d seat around 31 to 35 seats depending on the quality of the refurbishment
