Another Scania arrived at Gillmoss from Rock Ferry today, repainted 15584 PX59CVA
I'll get some pics up on Flickr over the weekend of it
Although not just Stagecoach, it is worth looking at the list of additional 'S' services that start from next week for schools, Stagecoach appearing on many routes they don't usually operate such as S18, S89, S102 and S166, S188 as well as many school dupes of their own routes.

Can add to that S10A, S62 and S81, note, these are to be operated from Rock Ferry
Are these ‘S’ routes ran as separately timetabled services, or are they ran as an additional vehicle to an existing service?
Will be very unusual and not to mention possibly confusing for students to see a Stagecoach bus turn up on an Arriva route.
Also, will ticket machines be programmed to accept Arriva passes (helpful to monitor demand for the additional services) or will students with passes just be waved on and not recorded?

The S routes are for school children only (no normal passengers will be carried) and it will be clearly stated on the destination boards.
Edit: they are additional to the regular timetable

I understand that part, but what I mean is will it simply follow behind a normal timetabled bus or is it on its own schedule?

Just saw the edit, thanks for clarification
The three MAN 14.240/Alexander Dennis Enviro200s 39690, 39691 & 39693 are confirmed at Gillmoss. Of these 39691 & 39693 are expected to enter service this week.
18372 just leaving Liverpool city centre on the 14 now.
18442 reportedly did either 26 or 27, 34810 did the S89, Rock Ferry's 27297 did a S102, 39691 did S166 and 39693 did 835 as far as I can tell.
Interesting to see one of the new ‘S’ services S89 is showing as the 20 Kirkby to Liverpool service.
