These are the last of the 55-plates (34803-34808). A few of these have AdBlue fillers.

Gillmoss has 7 Darts - 34803-8/20

Thanks for confirming

In that case Mathias is correct about Gillmoss having six Darts. Apologies for any confusion

I don't know whether to post this here or in the Chester & Wirral thread, and this may be a bit ambitious. It's just that later this year, I'm hoping to travel on Stagecoach buses Liverpool - Kirkby - Liverpool via route 14a (connecting with an Arriva 14 at Croxteth) - Chester - Liverpool. I would ride routes 2, 14a, X8 and possibly 19. What I am hoping is that all 4 Stagecoach buses are different vehicle types, hopefully including an Enviro 200 - MMC on route 2.

Another two Solos are now at Gillmoss, 47709 & 47710.

This brings the total number of Solos available for service up to 8, those being 47081, 47327, 47328, 47494, 47709, 47710, 47711 & 47753.

Just to clarify, in the Fleet News section of this month's Buses mag it states that the new MMC's 10811-43 are in the process of delivery (I knew) for the 20/21 (I assumed). No doubt they will see service on other GM routes from time to time. I do suspect that there may well be a reduction in frequency when this conversion to deckers is complete.

It's not on the 10A, it's being used as a route learner
