I mentioned on the Chester thread earlier about Gillmoss possibly getting new deckers. I think this has been confirmed today and the Stagecoach Twitter page with them saying that Gillmoss deckers are going to be replaced this year.
If
this is the tweet you are referring to, it certainly suggests that cascades are the order of the day rather than new vehicles.
27147 is back with a brand new shiny front.

Indeed, the reference to renew rather than replace suggests it could just be more modern double-deckers. Route 125 at Chorley has been touted for some new Scania double-deckers, so some of the current ones could come to GM?
It will be a pity in a way if GM loses these ex-London Tridents. I associate GM with ex-London buses after its Metrobuses and Titans!
27147 is now back in traffic
27155 is a rare visitor to 10A right now.

HTH
A terrible job has been done on the inside of it. Just been booked off because seals around the door havnt bern bonded on properly. The ticket machine is facing sideways and some bright spark has chopped a black coin tray off a dart in half and screwed it down wonky. Not to mention its still far too big. Might look shiny on the outside but from a drivers point of view its a nightmare.
17325 was on the X3 this afternoon
4 rails deckers are here. 17494, 17527, 17549 & 17575.
