18378 and 18441 on the 14/14A today. 18442 never seen use. Apparently the branding has been taken off 27716-27722 due to the 10A getting new deckers as well. MAN Enviro300s will be going elsewhere which looks like the 20/21 will see the use of ADL Enviro300s. Very odd considering the initial plan was to put deckers on that corridor but now reducing capacity.

Any news on when the deckers are due for the 10A? It is quite interesting that most of the Enviro 300s currently on the route are having Wifi retro fitted although I have found this to be faulty on the 2 I have used so far (27716 & 27720).

I'm wondering if the MAN's may come to RF to replace the Scania's highly doubt it but who knows as the scanias are 04/05 plates

I did hear 55/06 plate Tridents where coming to RF to replace either the 04 tridents or 06/56 Enviro400's but not heard anything official yet

Great news to hear the 10A is receiving new double deckers as well

Its possible that Chester's Volvos could replace the Scanias when the MMCs take over the P&R

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Chester's Volvos will be cascaded out of region when the time comes.

Am led to believe that with the exception of schools-allocated vehicles, MY&SL are aiming to have a maximum vehicle age of 55plate this year...
