Yes that right. I believe Stagecoach more new school bus contract and take over from GHA? I've seen Trident 18002 parked at rear of depot.
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot - Penny Return - 29/09/2016 16:51
18002 was out on schools Tuesday 27/09.
Saw it on A51 going towards Chester

10576 was in St. Helens yesterday (28 Sept.) on the 10A. Not the first one here, but not very common.

Im sure she was OD with Manchester before becoming MD with Merseyside 5 years ago.

Will be interesting to see if Stagecoach Manchester changes much under her control. Would be good to see some kind of tussle with First on Wilmslow rd but as Chris Bowles is staying on in a development role will that put her off making hasty changes.

Getting embroilded in this bus war and the resultant whingeing about city centre congestion, whilst long standing suburban services go to rack and ruin is what needs to stop. This thread is 40 miles too far west to go into detail, but I got caught up in it yet again yesterday.
For once, I agree with Dentonian. In the long term, a (bus) war of attrition is destructive and costly, even for the winner. It's just on thirty years since competition was viewed as the way to go following deregulation and, whilst there have been some benefits, the primary objective - increase bus usage - has not been achieved. Rather, services and usage in urban and rural areas has, in many instances been destroyed.
Here on Merseyside, Stagecoach and Arriva recognise that peaceful co-existence under the new Bus Alliance agreement makes far more sense.

Its the so called bus war in manchester that i think is clogging up oxford road worse than it should be.
