For anyone interested, the registration S111 ABC is now on a Range Rover Evoque, no longer a BMW. Also S33 ABC is now on a Mercedes C Class.

Great to hear new double deckers are finally on their way to Gillmoss - they are outrageously overdue. Interestingly, it looks like the 14 will become the first Liverpool QBP to go fully double deck in the coming weeks, in quite an upturn in the route's fortunes. Somewhat surprising though that the 20/21 has been overlooked (for now at least).

I assume the remaining 14 will be for the 86 and 82 routes as that sounds a reasonable number to fully convert the non-86C journeys.

With credit to the Stagecoach Enthusiasts Facebook page the first of the new Enviro400s for Gillmoss (10534/5) are now on delivery. This batch should be 10534-10551

As reported by gka472l they are registered SN16 OMY/Z respectively

The interior looks really nice I have to say - can't wait for them to enter service

Heading North on M74 it says? No wonder nothings arrived yet. And why the sudden change with the seats? Somerhings telling me this one isnt for Merseyside.

I'm assuming 'irn bru' seats are seats similar to the old fashioned bench seating??

Seats are high backed Practico Lazerini seats (normal type for Stagecoach though most buses get low backed Lazerini ones) but with orange/blue vinyl/leather type material, rather than the beachball moquette.

Somebody has probably posted this before but when was the last new decker delivered to Gillmoss? My assumption was the "R" registration batch of Olympians?
