Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
I'm not aware of any plans to cascade the B7RLEs out. For starters there's nothing to replace them, and given 21236/7 were moved over from Wigan, it seems unlikely.

Yes you're right, saw 16966 parked at the rear of the depot with 16964 still being used in service on the 471/472 today, also saw a Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse displaying Kirkwall Travel Centre on it's destination display in the depot.

16960-2 and 16965/6 were the five that were collected on Thursday 11th, as can be seen in the following Flickr set.

Therefore the two still to travel north are 16963/4.

Well I can tell you that the first of the BlaconPointer B7RLE's has been painted into Stagecoach Livery, that is YJ09 FWD.

Just been on S355 MFP on a 1 this evening, still going strong and seems to be out daily along with 358.

Although not new news exactly, but not been mentioned that I know of, both of these 2 remaining ultralows have been fitted with CCTV over the last month or so - presumably both going to be around for a while yet!

I am no longer active on this forum.

Fitting CCTV isn't the hardest of tasks, and won't change the plan to ultimately dispose of them.

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
Are these the only ultralows in service then with stagecoach. Obviously only ones at Chester but are there any at rock ferry still going?

28988/9 at Chester and 28981 at Rock Ferry are the only Ultralows still allocated. The rest are in reserve, though I would expect them to move to disposal very soon.

Although 28981 is stored at Gillmoss, photo'd it on 23 March http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/8583551888/

28991 was at Rock Ferry the same day
