The 26 are still on order for St Helens and the booklet says delivery dates are scheduled for December/January/February meaning -of course- that NONE of them will get the 15-reg plate which comes out March 2015.

Conceivably, as the last to be delivered, Bootle's batch could be held at the depot until March to receive the 15 plate, in the same way that most of Speke's were in order to take the 64 plate. It appears from date of timetable revisions that Green Lane's batch will go into traffic on 11 January and St Helens' batch on 1 February.
