One is currently in chorley having work done
One from birkenhead
And 19045 from preston

From elsewhere, 19032-6 are the ones expected to go to Sheffield tomorrow. Question related to this, do we know where the replacement Tridents are coming from (obvious ones would be the 18153-5/7-9 from Preston but apparently they're said to be leaving the north west completely if they haven't already done so)

I'm not sure there will be replacements, more likely that Gillmoss will keep more of the ex-West ALX400s in service.
(The ALX400-for-Versas swap wasn't in the original plan so until now has effectively given GM extra deckers).

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I have a feeling 17111 and 17113 Are partly replacing these as until all this happened they looked set to leave and now all of a sudden they are out in Service

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
They weren't going anywhere. Their placement into the reserve fleet was slightly premature is all.

I'm still not 100% sure what the full list of cascades stemming from the 125 going Gold will be, but I am 99% sure that it's not finished yet.

Further to this, 5 Enviro400's have departed from Gillmoss to Sheffield, 19032/3/5/6 are now allocated to Ecclesfield, and 19042 is now at Holbrook, 19034 never went. Info from Stagecoach News Yahoo group.

19034 never made the journey as it had a problem. The other went on Sunday morning.
19038 got dragged into the yard by RNW today after breaking down just around the corner on the East Lancs.
Although noted on the road on Saturday, 27288 received a crack in its windscreen whilst making its journey down from Scotland.
Finally, Stagecoach have mentioned on their Twitter page that the ex First Scanias will be joining the training fleet. Not sure about the B7s.

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
The B7s will either stay in the reserve fleet or be cascaded - they were to go to East Midlands but that idea has long been binned as EM already have a newer single deck fleet.

I think it will be just be 28539/42/3 that get converted into trainers - logically you'd expect them to replace the 3 B10M coaches but as 52360 has only recently been converted, it may be the case that 21118 or one of the existing Scanias is stood down. An extra may even be provided for Preston.

If 21118 was stood down I wonder if anybody would take it for preservation with it already being in CMT livery.
