I'm just wondering if the move from Glenvale is perhaps due to someone maybe wanting to use the Ribble identity again - a large or small company?

For Gillmoss it's interesting too the changes of identity over the years from LCPT, MPTE, Merseyside Transport Ltd, MTL Trust Holdings Ltd/MTL North, Arriva Merseyside, Glenvale and now Ribble although to the average passenger they'd just have seen Stagecoach since 2005.

I'm not 100% but who owns the Crosville Motor Services identity. Is it Arriva?

Crosville Motor Services name fell out of use after the company was privatised and was reintroduced in the Weston Super Mare region by Jonathan Jones Pratt (Closed in 2018) who now operates Somerset Passenger Solutions for the Hinkley Point C work alongside First in Somerset

Did one of the SN65 Enviro300s get repainted fairly recently? Pretty confident I saw one of them earlier today around Fazakerley/Walton on the 20/21 service around an hour ago

I may've mistaken it for the more obvious MAN Enviro300s on PO59 registrations however, but I do appreciate any information.

It might of been 27292 SN65 OEL

Pretty confident that is ringing a bell with me now, thanks for that.

It is indeed 27292 - I think it was painted a week prior to it getting reallocated to Gillmoss

Can anyone confirm if 24157 has been repainted please? I've seen reports it has but I haven't been able to confirm

I can confirm 24157 is now in new colours, I photographed it on the 18th May in the new scheme.
