Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I Could actually envisage what Mbonwick Suggests and the SN56 plated Enviros at Preston ending up at GM and maybe any ALX400's at Preston to and Preston having all the Scania's for Longer distance. so that could be any of 18157-9 18354/5/6/8/9/60/4/6/72/74 19031-45?

The 04 plate ALX400s will probably end up spread around if anything. Chorley need 1 or 2 to replace 17021 and provide another spare (can't see them wanting to put Golds onto schools somehow!)

Preston will also want rid of 17448, and Rock Ferry rid of 17111/3.

That leaves about 18 other vehicles to account for, which would sit well with 15 Enviro400s to replace (nominally on Preston routes 1/2) and send to Gillmoss. Assuming that happens, it would be a slight expansion on the 9 deckers currently allocated.

Ahh right, thanks. Are these still Stagecoach buses or did they get sold?

They were donated. While GTG is a completely separate company, at the time they had just started providing training for Stagecoach apprentices, so needed vehicles to 'practice' on.
