As far as I'm aware Pulsars 2930-2940 have all been refurbished to Sapphire specification. Two more routes are being converted to Sapphire (263 and X1) in the near future which will see more vehicles refurbished

2419 is a heap anyway, although I'm not going to deny I'll miss 2704 on 329's to Warrington.

Also worth making a note now, as I made a journey on 2271 (X271 OBN) earlier on St Helens 31's, that the ALX's are looking very scruffy now and I'm sure they're not far off either refurbishment or withdrawal, with the latter looking more likely.

The remaining X reg Darts are due of the road when replacements are found
2251 made it out onto the 10As today then managed to get onto the 31 lates!
2421 is now the last DAF Cadet based at St Helens as 2436 has now been Withdrawn

2711 and 2729 both ended up on 31s today, surely there's better to do for B10s...
Theres not really much else left to allocate to the 31 with only 5 Plaxton Pointers left 1 ALX 200 Dart and 1 DAF Cadet still in service

352/385/375 divert all sundays in October via Heinz route in Orrell post/Pem area
Latest withdrawals at St Helens is Plaxton Pointer Darts 2249 and 2254 along with Wright Renown 2709, Commander 2580 has moved from Green Lane to St Helens and took almost 2 weeks to enter service as it required work and the Dongle that is used to update the LED's was broke and a new one had to be sourced

They have not all departed Arriva North West yet as I noted Winsfords 2272 in service in Crewe yesterday.
Officially 2272 is on loan from St Helens however i got a feeling it will not return, old Buses that get loaned out hardly return to St Helens Depot

Dart 2252 is still clinging on at Southport. It is now the sole survivor.

Dart 2252 will be withdrawn after service this Saturday, upon expiry of MoT, thus ending over 16 years of Dart operation at Southport.
Volvo B10BLEs 2719/20 will be transferred to St Helens this weekend as Southport's PVR will decrease after the planned service changes come in to effect next Sunday.

After seemingly restricting 4681-92 to Route 75 when new the Speke Depot allocators now seem to regard them as common user with 4556-74 and can now be seen regularly on either routes 75 or 86.
