7650 is down on the official Arriva North West and Wales October 2013 (period ten) fleet-list as being based here! I presume that this allocation will happen during the course of the month.

I think you're clearly missing the point of a pool vehicle. Pool vehicles can simply be allocated to any depot that needs it the most whether it is for service or breaking/spares, usually where head office find a place that is most suitable. So being in the pool, yes it may be allocated to a depot but it is much easier for them to shift the buses around to a more suitable depot if the need be if it was for use in service.

I think he might be referring to 819 or even the whole lot.

In that case, pool can be defined as the above and for withdrawn buses, hence why I've posted buses that say that (like 819 - their statuses are unclear).(18/10/2013 13:00)KU02 YUH Wrote:I think he might be referring to 819 or even the whole lot.(18/10/2013 12:55)R557 ABA Wrote: I think you're clearly missing the point of a pool vehicle.

Hope this makes sense; I'm just quoting what the information says!
