Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

[P450 SWX]

RE: First Chester & Wirral
Yesterday I visited Rock Ferry with a friend at around 1745 the inspector let us get some shots of the Gemini and he told us to come up Saturday to get the rest sometime after 11.30

Also he had a list with him of RF allocations that he was reading
The following info might be useful to you

As each Gemini arrives a Scania goes back in its place to Yorkshire he had floline as the first one to leave Rock Ferry unfortunately it did not list the others

After the 6 other Gemini arrive on Saturday they will be 7 Scania short so expect on Saturday for some Prismas and Olympians to be out covering these buses as on Saturday the PVR is still like it is now

From Sunday the following will happen
SERVICE 1/2 - Solar only will operate both (hence branding removed) they have 12 Solars at RF according to his list and there are 6 buses on the new 1 and 6 buses on the 2.

From Sunday until Wednesday due to the Gemini getting tested
SERVICE 471/2 - will be all the newer Scania Floline/Ultralows they have at that time I will get the full list on Saturday after the Scanias have gone.

After Olympics there are Volvo Single Decks coming to replace the rest of the scanias and the Prismas unknown any more info at moment and there is another 5 Gemini. Due to replace Olympians as they can't be used after September


Also the reason for these newer buses is due to the sale of RF to make it stronger to potential Bidders

Another note:
The inspector said expect drivers to get lost on the 2 on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday as only 20 drivers have had route training and by time it starts it be 25
Unfortunately there are drivers who not been trained on it Monday

Hope all this info is useful and I will give u all a update with pics on Saturday night/Sunday morning
