I suspect just covering, all 86s are meant to be operated by MMCs
Very very rare allocation that though - It really did happen too (not a tracking error) as it was reported by some other enthusiasts who saw it in person.
Has 18156 moved to Preston depot?

Looking at the tracker it seems to have moved to Preston yesterday afternoon
18156 was on 919 today, it should still belong to Gillmoss. Bus times tracker shows it is in preston this afternoon, it is wrong. Maybe another bus uses the 18156 ticket machine.
Optare Solo 47111 spotted on Walton Road. Any ideas what it's up to?

Not sure tbh, 47709 & 47328 (which is now repainted) are both on Kirkby Circulars but if I find out I'll let you know - maybe a road test or something after maintenance?
Solo 47675 is back in Gillmoss again too after its week in Chester
All five 217s are deckers again today, four MMCs and Scania 15596!

Could it be 47711?? Just that 47111 was a Bluebird (Aberdeen) one, no pics of it since 2011....
HTH
47111 was sold from Aberdeen in early 2017, no chance of that turning up at Gillmoss!

I didn't even notice that, I read that as 47711 MX54YZU anyway lol
I'm any case, 47711 was on Gillmoss yesterday afternoon so probably it was on some sort of test run when reported on Walton Lane.
15588 (TSV 222) is on the 86 at the moment.
