Its from the First era, but Stagecoach do operate staff buses out of other depots. Birkenhead has 2 drivers on staff buses in AM and 1 in PM. Although the PM one is only occasionally used the morning ones are often fully booked hence why they use a bus rather than a van on some runs so they can pick up a few in one go.

I know Chester depot does not have a staff bus, but Wigan definitely does. I think I remember Gillmoss operating them too but cant 100% remember.

I am no longer active on this forum.

The Gillmoss staff buses I remember are the NCME-bodied Dart (32923) and the East Lancs Sprytes

Either use Ford Fiestas, Skoda Fabia or the Transit minibuses now.

Today, Chester sent one of the ex X22 darts to Gillmoss and brought back a new Park and Ride E200MMC
