RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
So what double deckers are going to be used on the X8? (24/12/2016 19:25)SL64 JDZ Wrote: They'll just be going to Rock Ferry IIRC. They're as follows: ![[Image: 28219738595_5f67980003_m.jpg]](https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7666/28219738595_5f67980003_m.jpg)

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Thank you for the list of Enviro 400-MMCs stopping off here on the way to Cambridge. Ironically, I found out about these just after booking a post-Christmas break in Cambridge! I am admittedly going there mainly for the guided busway. Returning here, I wonder whether some of the 33 imminent Enviro 400-MMCs will enable routes 2 & X8 to be fully double-decked even after the Wirral Line reopens. We have speculated about Stagecoach expanding in Merseyside. Could they offer to buy an Arriva depot? |

Re franchising I can see a case in point. If Stagecoach took over Arriva St Helens for example, and through franchising several routes were lost to Halton, HTL & Warrington, Stagecoach could then regret having made such a purchase. As this has been my final post tonight, I shall wish you all a very happy Christmas & New Year. I shall next post here in the first week of 2017. |

Doubtful whether the 2 and X8 would remain double deck after the end of rail works. I would have thought Gillmoss routes 20 and 21 had a far higher priority. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

I agree that the 20/21 should be a priority for decker operation. It already operates a five-minute frequency and, at busy times, it is common to see four in a line with only the tail end one with any spare capacity. An increase in capacity, reduction is frequency to every six minutes with additional running time makes most sense. |

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Seemed to be all double deckers on the 17 today (27 Dec.) - presumably because Liverpool FC had a home game? |
