From CNL and MSL Preston and Chorley bases you will be fine, but a few months ago this ticket wasn't loaded into Chester or Rock Ferry machines. Not sure about gillmoss, maybe one of the guys who work at the company can update?

Good luck, keep us posted


EDIT: send them a quick tweet, they're pretty good at replying quickly!

I will have to make a Twitter account then, Have you got the link to their Twitter Page? Also just remembered i aint got one of them Smartcards yet, Can i still get one of them of the Bus Driver?

It's on Stagecoach Birkenheads Machines for definite only seen it the other day not sure about other depots
And yes all drivers have cards on them for you to acquire one of the 3 weekly's we issue

Just remembered the Explorer Ticket is a day ticket so dont need one of them cards

Will try my luck buying one tomoz, if its anything like trying to by the Megarider Gold from the Driver they will probs ring up the Depot to ask what one is anyway

The problem these days , they seem to give the driver so much to remember in the way of tickets as well as driving the bus .

A full range of smartcard enabled day tickets should be the next step , with a cap so that the customer always gets the best value ticket for the journeys made .

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
As far as im aware, every depot can issue them. Ive never had a problem in all the garages ive worked from. And as for the driver having to ring someone up to find out, he must of been an absolute dead head because its right there in front of you when you go to top a card up, and it was under weekly tickets before the cards come about.

On another note, 17839 is now here.
Gillmoss reserve fleet at the moment is;
17201
34600
34743
34781
34785.

Dont know whats happening with 17272 but its been in the same position for a few weeks now with cones behind it. 17491 is only here for schools and shuttles at the moment. This could change though?
With the schools being off for a couple of weeks now, 28513/4 are working on the X3.

It was a she but either way if its that clear she should of spotted it (having said that the person on the desk told her to just let me on and get it on the X2) Is it a paper ticket or a smart card ticket?

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
The explorer is a paper ticket and the Megarider Gold is a smartcard ticket as its a weekly

Some 63 plate Enviro300s that were loaned out have now returned.

All of them should be back by Christmas as the Forth Road Bridge was reopened (with the exception of HGVs) this morning.
