Out of interest with this new merger if say Manchester are short of vehicles for some reason or other could we actually end up seeing Merseyside Depots helping out and vice versa?
Also will this mean the legal addresses will have to be changed on all vehicles?

Changes from 1 December 2025
Interesting move, kind of reminds me when First had Wirral & Chester, they moved Wirral & Chester depots from Potteries to Manchester licences.
Latest Stagecoach Scotland East fleetcard has Enviro300 27217 as down as transferring to Merseyside (27211-7 left Midlands earlier this year for Scotland East). Also Scania 28647 also coming to Merseyside from the same source, although I'd say unlikely for Gillmoss given most of these seem to be at Preston now......
HTH
27217 is still in Scotland at the time of writing. 28605 + 28647 have arrived from Scotland though and are currently at Gillmoss. 15588 has returned in the awful new livery too.
A post on another thread a while back asked about the use of 59 reg. buses on Tendered services.
In a similar vein, is it acceptable that Stagecoach occasionally use 06 reg Solos and 58 reg short Enviro 200s on Merseytravel's Maghull Circular services?
I saw two of the Enviros today and they sounded very rough indeed.
Bar 24135 are any other Gillmoss MANs due to move to Hull

24134 has come off fleet this week leaving 24159 the only remaining MAN at Gillmoss.
24134 is still parked up at Gillmoss.
The 58 E400EV's destined for Gillmoss have been allocated 75 plates now, info from Bus lists on the web.....still no official confirmation of fleetnumbers as of yet
