Application is in for a new license, so it looks like it is getting its own, just like with First. Wrexham outstation is currently on First Potteries Ltd (PG1025765) license rather than First Manchester Ltd.

You won't get any figures like this from any one you know in Stagecoach. Do a VOSA operator search for PSV operator license number PC1033334 (GTL license), the authorisations are on there.

I don't know when the new application was put through to VOSA, but it is down as license number PG1116581, status "Application in process".

RE: First Chester & Wirral
i will believe it when i see as i dont trust vosa they always get things wrong tbh think a fleetlist be done and buses would have stagecoach logos as according to that link there already stagecoach operating stations when clearly there still FIRST

RE: First Chester & Wirral
I don't think the link says that at all. The link just shows that those depots have been added to the Glenvale license ahead of taking over the depots from First. VOSA are the governing body after all responsible for all this so I would actually trust their information which is usually right in this regard. I'm sure one of the Stagecoach people can confirm/expand on this.

RE: First Chester & Wirral
Whilst in the chip shop at Bromborough the 53 plate Volvo Eclipse past me , couldn't ID what route it was serving looks a little strange with luggage racks inside, one thing I do wonder is if it's actually a B7L ? Unless it was just me due to the bus passing at speed. 2 or 3 Leyland Olympian Tourbuses are stored in RF also. Be interesting to see what their fate is, though I could imagine them to stay when the summer season at Chester starts tbh.

RE: First Chester & Wirral
I think stagecoach may convert some tridents for replacements as the ecw olympians are not low floor

RE: First Chester & Wirral
That may be a possibility andy, but lets not forget the sightseeing isnt really their main priority so theyll put the money in on improving profitable service routes rather than special routes id imagine for now.

66701 on the 2s today probably that you saw in Bromborough neoplanN4009, and i think youre right, chesters looking a tad cramped at the moment- it is common to see the chester olympians parked in RF over the winter months!

The ECW's are the D-FYM Olympians

I think B200 DTU was the last, but I'm presuming Andy's referring to the ex-London examples that are O/T.
