Not too sure, However i believe the final Gold 300s are slowly starting to move to Preston. Whether they are looking for buses to give to RF or Chester in exchange that could be a possibility.

36804 - PO62 MFE has disappeared off to Chester presumably to replace the solos which have recently gone.

Hi,

This is what has been said about that

“Active discussion is taking place with our local authorities about how we can deliver the National Bus Strategy and investment plans will feature as part of that. Whilst at this stage I cannot promise that we will introduce new buses in the near future, I am keen that we invest in our Preston fleet and I would hope to prioritise the longer distance routes for new vehicles when we start to order new buses once again.

As far as i am aware i doubt they are ordering new buses just yet. On a previous communication older than this they was committed to 0 emission vehicles from 2024.

Very shortly I believe, have seen a couple of pics of it repainted (no lettering yet) but they are someone else's pics, I'm told it *may* be on the X8 this weekend.....

15305 has since had some lettering applied, also with 27272 (SN65ODM) now being at Preston, it just leaves two gold Enviro300's at Rock Ferry (27255/27271), however I'm told 27890 & 36184 have gone to Rock Ferry.
