Well, at the moment they are SM66 VAU, VAX and VBA.

Don't agree in this case. A Ribble liveried bus in the North West is fine in my view

I didn't say that. I was disagreeing with Wirralbus saying it was laughable the Ribble liveried bus has been operated on the Wirral

I'd imagine the registrations will stay the same and the fleet numbers will be changed to match the correct registration

Quite a few Gold buses on the 2 Chester-Liverpool today, rather than the deckers.

I think it's pretty much back to normal now I think Chester still use the d/d on their share of the 2 they still use doubles on the X8

I was on the X8 yesterday, the one i was on was the Cambridge Silver P&R, there was 2 Cambridge Greens & a couple of standard livery deckers on the X8.

I am sorry, but I am with Wirralbus on this one. Rock Ferry depot was an Crosville depot NOT a Ribble one!

This is not the only time were Stagecoach as got things wrong!, they use to have a CMS Cumberland livery bus running out of Kendal depot, which was never an CMS Cumberland depot, but a Ribble depot

My argument is this - would you rather a Ribble liveried Trident or a Stagecoach liveried Dart on the 471/472?

I know what the passengers would prefer

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
The point of the Ribble livered ALX400 is that it is here for schools, being used for public service when other buses are unavailable.

It doesn't matter what heritage livery the bus is in, millennial school children won't recognise it anyway.
