It'll be interesting therefore whether anything left over from Speke is split between garages in Wales or just gets allocated to a singular location as the Wrexham Pulsars were also wanted elsewhere as soon as possible (Bangor apparently).

I'd honestly say that now with the extra Mylleniums at Speke, that might be seen as the extra capacity they wanted and now the deckers are going to Wales instead of Speke. Quite a come down for Speke from Enviros to Mylleniums, but makes a change Speke not getting deckers!

Might be a good point regarding the mylleniums in that the 81/81A seems to have been exclusively mylleniums during the week since the Birkenhead ones arrived when previously you would see commanders and cadets at times. I think Speke wanted the extra capacity for that route in particular. Being a regular user of that route I can understand why and the mylleniums fit that route perfectly.
