Are they permanently assigned to rock ferry depot now along with 15590 and will more be coming to the depot.

Also doea anyone know if 15747 & 15750 are ever coming back to be part of the fleet up here again.

15744 is back as well according to the tracker, I think 15747 went to Scania for parts but I’m not 100% sure as I might have mixed it up with 1 of the others. 15750 is the odd one out as that’s at Folkestone.

I must admit I am surprised 15750 did not head up here to the wirral along with all the others when they were brought up here.

1 extra bus might not seem much in terms of vehicles in a fleet but that 1 extra bus would make a difference between a service running with all the buses it needs or having 1 bus missing in the event of a vehicle failure.

Especially as on most days, there appears to be at least one non-gold vehicle out on the 1/X1 circuit.

As has been previously posted on this website 15750 remained at South East and Merseyside received Enviro200 36861 which went to Gillmoss for route 204.

The gold services are a farce at the moment , we have gold buses running on the 38 and 41/2 and standard liveried buses on what is a premier route 1 and X1.

Is this all to do with the problems with the Enviro fleet recall and a case of all vehicles need to be used to maintain service .

It also seems that Stagecoach at Chester are just treating the 22 with contempt when using Solo's on this route.

As far as I'm aware it has never been used in traffic at Rock Ferry
