RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
27296 is at Gillmoss as mentioned, I drove it earlier this week on 217 27150 did go away for repairs to Ferryhill Motors (thus Fm36 was here) however it has been back about 3 weeks now so Fm36 has returned to Ferryhill. In other news, all the buses from Cheltenham are back (six Scanias including the three from Preston 15910-2) and all are in Gillmoss at present so it'll be interesting to see if these return to Preston or remain at Gillmoss. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
I would have thought the loaned Preston Scania Enviro400s would go back to Preston considering their branded up for 59/61 services that they operate on. As for the select few drivers trained to drive the Coaches on X5 well aren't one or more of the select batch of drivers that are coach trained at Gillmoss on long term loan to Basingstoke at the moment? |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
The branding on those Scanias has been removed, only branding on them is the huge WiFi logos. I'll try to get my photos of them onto Flickr later. With the X5 lots of other drivers drive it now anyway, the coach training is less of an issue as they don't normally have coaches. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
I'm not sure that those remaining B9's will ever enter service, I've seen a couple of photos of them parked up and they don't look like they are going anywhere. One is next to a recently withdrawn dart and has the same notices in the front window, whatever the notices are |
