Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
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.

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
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?

Interesting to see one of the new ‘S’ services S89 is showing as the 20 Kirkby to Liverpool service.
