We are up to that age now aren't we so I would be surprised if they were anything but scrapped.

who decides which cadets are to go or is it done by mot expirey or mechanical faults etc.


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - MPTE1955 - 04/05/2015 05:08

At this age it surely has to be down to mot running out and general reliability.

Which Mylleniums are at Laird Street


RE: Arriva North West - Birkenhead Depot - T42 PVM - 04/05/2015 08:00

Am sure if 2829 knew what other Mylleniums where due for Birkenhead Depot he would of already said..

All Cadets are going eventually, it comes down to MOT, faults and expence. 2428 won't be making a return due to accident damage. Now, I point out the fleet numbers I gave are what I have been told and as always this is not for definite. They are fleet numbers that engineering have given due to the buses reliability. Originally, all blinded Cadets (-2439) were first in line.

Now in regards to Myllenniums, it would make sence for the native LS' ones to return: 2451, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 60, 61, however only six of these will return according to my source. As always this can change. I hope this clears any confusion!

Thanks for the imfo,obviously the myllenniums won't here long so what will replace them I wonder?
