10811 definitely has. Don't know about 10841 though.

Both 21260 and 21261 should be at chester really. The whole point of the standard MMCs coming to Chester and sending the 200s to Rock Ferry was to make maintenance easier so why are they messing the Eclipse' around. Just keep them in Chester and use it on the SP1 dupes or it would be a fantastic one for the X8 when an Enviro300 isnt available (normal circumstances. I know Enviro400s are operating it at the moment).

21260 is back at Chester 21261 was reported on another thread as being at RockFerry and off road, you quite often see 21262 on the X8

28539/42 have yet to be converted or painted. 28543 has been painted and stored. Yet to be fully converted. 28539 has had panels repaired and Stagecoach stickers taken off.

Perhaps RF just had 21261 on loan while Chester have all the deckers, Chester ain't the biggest of depots so there probably wasn't enough room for all their regular buses as well as extras... I reckon it will return to Chester soon, I'm pretty sure 21260 went to Gillmoss on loan at the start of this as well

Plus I think Chester still have some of the old shape Enviro200s as well as the MMCs

Thanks mate Smile

I have mentioned on here that my first ever Liverpool bus ride was a Merseybus Metrobus Mk 1 on 8.6.91. I suddenly have a recollection that it could have been on route 20, as far as a Merseyrail station but not sure which one. I think it's the new Enviro 400-MMCs on this route that have caused this potential flashback. I even think I came back on a North Western Atlantean instead of a train at that stage.

The Merseybus fleet of MK 2 Metrobuses were initially allocated to GM (the depot that did and still does operate the 20/21) and it is quite possible that you are correct as the route parallels the Kirkby line for a few miles.

10572 (SN16 OTJ) and 10575 (SN16 OTM) Enviro400MMC deckers are both making their debut on 53-CROSBY route today.
I can imagine this may become common practice in future.

Are the 55-plate Darts finished?
