RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
According to the Bus Fleetlists website Scania 15466 has transterred from Preston to Chester. Is this a permanent move?

As far as I'm aware they're part of a batch of 23 due for Preston which will be utilised on 125 Preston - Bolton

These are part of the 8 due for Rock Ferry (11621-11628). Bus Lists on the Web has YX23OUD as 11621. 11607-11628 were all originally intended for Torquay, however have been diverted to North East (Walkergate) 11607-11620 and the above mentioned for Rock Ferry.

Looking on bustimes this morning, it seems 15466 has transferred to Rock Ferry and has been joined by 15467 - 15471 from Preston leaving just 15472/3/4 in Preston.

And it appears that 15596 has gone to Chester to replace 15466.

I'm not aware of 15466 ever being allocated to Chester.
