I have a feeling that it is Ribble (Stagecoach) 19396 (MX58 FSL). This vehicle transferred from Greater Manchester South to Gilmoss in May this year.
4408 is currently here from Rhyl, was also reregistered to it's original registration (CX58 FZV) before coming here.
2 electric deckers are also at Green Lane. An Enviro 400EV from Blyth and a repowered StreetDeck from Thurmaston. On loan for an event next weekend.
Also Streetdecks 7773 and 7774 currently Laird Streets rail buses will transfer here around 1 October in advance of the move of laird street to Go Ahead. Green Lane will be picking up the majority of the rail replacement work going forward.
Out of curiosity, do you know the ID of the Thurmaston StreetDeck?
The Blyth one (according to the Bustimes edit I've seen, as well as the usual precautions of edit accuracy is AR74 ZEB) - (DM01-MD)
Is 4408 on loan as well or is it here for unrelated reasons?

AR74 ZEB is correct.
Midlands one unsure
4408 to cover for 4841 accident damage and will stay for rails
13 Geminis have been kept back from disposal for the month long rail work coming up
These will be shared around once they know how many duties each depot is covering
4843 broke down on a 27 about an hour ago apparently the driver said it had been plagued with an air pressure/suspension issue all day.
The demo electric bus DM01-MD AR74 ZEB has been given a temporary fleet number of 1878 for its extended stay at Green Lane.
The bus is also going to be used in service from next week too!

How original. A jovial reference to the team of our Manchester City apologist Prime Minister, he should support them instead of Everton.
