Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Been going past Liverpool ONE recently and it seems I'm frequently observing what could be an ALX200/300 trainer vehicle that is always parked up by the National Express coach layover stands, is this a Stagecoach training vehicle? I've never seen it whilst out and about.

Can I get an update regarding repaints as well please? Thanks in advance.

I believe that it's getting used for driver breaks/means. Sure I seen a photo with that showing on it.

Yeah that is correct, 22079 NK54BXG is the Liverpool ONE canteen bus.

This is just to provide more room for social distancing so is in addition to the proper canteen room at the layover area. The bus has a mains supply so is heated and lit without the bus engine needing to be running.

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

Nothing was in paint over Christmas that I'm aware of so 24153 getting done, again, is the only one currently in the process. If any others get done that I've not posted though I will of course let you all know here!

Both of these (15466 & 15467) were bought new and were fully branded for X2 Preston-Southport-Liverpool service and have got high back seating fitted throughout.

Now the question is how soon will one of these suddenly make an appearance on any evening 217/227?
