Short term maybe, I just can't believe that you'd have 7 Enviro300s (27294-300) in and not replace the 7 B7RLEs...

Particularly when the only reason Chester was chosen for the B9TLs was the commonality of parts, and the policy for the Geminis is to use until they break, then withdraw...

27295-27300 are at Rock Ferry though, I believe only 27294 has gone to Chester....

I think 27296 is also at Chester but could be wrong

Could have been on the 2, I've spotted some of these on the 2, 27300 being one....

First Solos 59003 and 59006 from the Manchester Metroshuttle were parked in Rock Ferry yard on Saturday. Have I missed something here or is this part of the Go-Ahead acquisition of Queens Road? Certainly strange to see them parked up on Stagecoach premises.

Stagecoach have the.contract to refurbish them. What is interesting is that 59006 is the only one not yet seen in service . Presumably,, both are grey.

I hope 59006 comes back before the Go Ahead take over since its the only Solo I've not done, I thought Queens were getting rid of the Solos and just sticking to the Versas.

These are TfGM owned so they specify what runs the service. It's the older. Solos that First are ditching
