They must be cleaning up on the 111 after Fishwick's sad demise to warrant an upgrade to Gold.

Service 111 uses modern 63/14 reg Enviro300 amongst others currently.
Some Gold Enviro300s are obviously going to be surplus at Rock Ferry when deckers arrive so management have obviously decided that Preston is the best place for them within the M & SL operations.
Just hope that 27272 does not leave RF as I still need to ride it.

I've used the service a couple of years ago from Northampton to Corby and back, and the two vehicles were a pleasure to ride on.

I've heard tell the X4 Milton Keynes to Peterborough service, due to transfer to Rock Ferry to replace the Gold single-deckers on the 1 are in such a poor state, requiring a lot to be spent on them to bring up to Merseyside's standard, and there has been a big argument going on as to who was going to pay for the refurbs.

If true then Head office should foot the bill for any refurb work,a bit unfair for any of the two depots involved to be landed with it

Don't think it's fair that RF should pay to sort them out, however I do believe that the depot that they come from should pay. They have had them and should look after them, simple as that.
