Is this the working you're looking for?

Buses magazine reports that Rock Ferry are expecting brand new E400MMC's 11621-11628 (11607-11628 were originally intended for Torquay, 11607-11620 said to be going to the North East instead).

No idea, but they are due in June (as are the 125 batch 11629-11651)....presumably some of the oldest Scania/Enviro400 might go, presume a lot of Preston's will also go elsewhere.....

8 sounds about right for the 471/2

More likely to go on Chesters, 8 just about covers the 1/X1 plus 888 from the Gold batch

I do wonder if there is a plan to replace most/all Scania Enviro400s at Rock Ferry? Gillmoss will soon have Hydrogen Buses which could displace MMCs here.

15584 currently on 38A has been stuck in the one way system on Sandbrook Lane for the last 20 minutes because of cars parked on both sides of the road, & has had to reverse back, & divert.
