Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Not too uncommon for a B10 to be riding high, I've certainly came across B10M's where they've built up too much air in the suspension. The air release valves usually kick in again when the bus is switched off then back on again.

You will find they have a switch in the cab called a "ferry lift" which is mainly for engineering purposes for instance if the exhaust becomes detatched from the bus at the rear,the fitter can flick the ferry lift switch to raise the bus up so he can access the underneath easily as the volvo B10BLE as them fitted.

I've known drivers at other companies use the ferry lift in the past mainly for getting over speed bumps that seem worse than normal

Noted Liberators 21066/7/9/72 out an about today, along with recently re-instated Renowns 21106/8/11. All were on the 17/19 bar 21066, which was on the 217/227. The Liberators looked quite smart and fresh externally, but looked tatty on the inside. All sounded quite nice too!

Justice is finally here. Rest In Peace the 96, You'll Never Walk Alone.

There was also a ex Hong Kong dart out on the 19 today also.

The 10C seems to have been changed to 100% dart operation which is an unsurprising move imo. 24131 and 34780 on the 10A today also.
