ERG machines due to be fitted in March/April roll out depending on staff training.
2> Considering 15823 is paint cover, does anyone know whether its out in service yet or when its going to be due in service and what routes will it be used on, be nice to see it on something like 41/42 or 2 Chester-Liverpools
Probably limited to 38/471/472 routes for fuel economy evaluation.
Does the 38 New Ferry - West Kirby really need double deckers .
The 471/2 though is a different matter as Arriva more often than not use a double decker it makes sense for stagecoach , vehicles permitting to also use double-deckers.
I was on the 38 the other day and i love the Enviro200s so smooth a lot better than the Scanias they used to have
Enviro 400 on the 471/2 this afternoon, presumably 15823.
Nice treat for the passengers on that route then.

Indeed it was, I would have uploaded it last night only for my ISP playing up, but here's a photo I took of it on Cook Street last night,

Now imagine if a Enviro 300 or Dart was working that service!
Not even picked up at Sir Thomas Street!
Double deckers will be required.

Well that is a surprise but I have to say it looks like brand new.
