Been going past Liverpool ONE recently and it seems I'm frequently observing what could be an ALX200/300 trainer vehicle that is always parked up by the National Express coach layover stands, is this a Stagecoach training vehicle? I've never seen it whilst out and about.
Can I get an update regarding repaints as well please? Thanks in advance.

I believe that it's getting used for driver breaks/means. Sure I seen a photo with that showing on it.
Yeah that is correct, 22079 NK54BXG is the Liverpool ONE canteen bus.
This is just to provide more room for social distancing so is in addition to the proper canteen room at the layover area. The bus has a mains supply so is heated and lit without the bus engine needing to be running.

Nothing was in paint over Christmas that I'm aware of so 24153 getting done, again, is the only one currently in the process. If any others get done that I've not posted though I will of course let you all know here!
Enviro400MMCs 10813 & 11103 and Enviro300 27294 have all returned to Gillmoss today from their loan to Chester
ADL Enviro300 27154 is now back from repaint, 27144 is being rubbed down for repaint!
MAN Enviro300 24153 is confirmed as being repainted, again - as noted before, expected to be in training livery!
Scanias 15563 & 15564 have transferred to Rock Ferry on Saturday 29th
15564s last working at Gillmoss was the 23:10 217A to Halewood - no idea who was driving it though....

Replacements for the last 2 Tridents at Rock Ferry, 18365/72, so I believe.....
Newly transferred to Gillmoss from Preston are Scania N230UD/Alexander Dennis Enviro400s 15466 PX58FXK (one time VLT255) and 15467 PX09AWV
MAN 18.220/TransBus ALX300 22079 NK54BXG has been removed as Liverpool ONE canteen bus and after a few days at Gillmoss was driven to Rock Ferry yesterday afternoon.
Both of these (15466 & 15467) were bought new and were fully branded for X2 Preston-Southport-Liverpool service and have got high back seating fitted throughout.
Now the question is how soon will one of these suddenly make an appearance on any evening 217/227?
