RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Olympian 14166 has had its floor painted, seats retrimmed into Stagecoach moquette, a handrails painted orange and has had the blue walls in the cab area repainted. To those who have seen the bus since its repaint, or any photos of it will have noticed the top of the grille panel under the windscreen was painted dark blue which looked daft and patchy, it's now been repainted white to match the rest. It is expected to be on the 15 this weekend. I am no longer active on this forum. |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Will it just be a normal double decker that deputises in the event that the open top is not available or subject to inclement weather. What funding does Merseytravel get for this service 15. |

It was an Enviro 400 in bad weather last year and indeed on a few of the hottest days due to vehicle breakdown. The service is funded by the Department for Transport and Merseytravel. |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
In times of money saving by all government departments im surprised that there is money for this service at all . Does it really convey that many passengers ? |

I suppose it depended on the weather to be perfectly honest. Here's some of my photos from last year depicting loadings...

It's great to see that Merseyrail is also onboard in promoting the open top service this year too! http://www.merseyrail.org/seasonal/new-b...e-bus.aspx |

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I believe the idea behind the 15 is to help attract visitors to New Brighton following its regeneration. The idea of something free is quite unusual these days, and I suppose it's ideal for a family day out! There where some good loadings last year iirc I am no longer active on this forum. |

It's a shame it didn't stop at the Train Station en route. |
