Photo proof of 27113 at least from one of my Flickr contacts http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidsnwtransport/14730919420/

Cheers GKA. With the registrations of 27113/4 confirmed 27115/6 should be registered SL14 LNM/N


RE: Stagecoach - Preston and Chorley Depots - mbonwick - 15/08/2014 13:05

Correct. The registrations have been known about since June.

Thanks for confirming. Must have missed them!

Any ideas what the Versas are replacing at Gillmoss?

27116 has been a 'last resort' vehicle since branding for service 3, at least until the service relaunch.

I believe said launch is due to happen in the next few weeks, at which point the rest of the batch may well be branded as well.

25225 is still about, working on whatever Preston decide to throw it out on...

I don't think 113 has been 100% Solo for a while now, there's usually at least one duty or more that gets allocated a Dart or ALX300 MAN and not sure if it still does but before this week's timetable change all daytime 113s interworked at Preston with 109 to get the bus to/from Chorley

Stagecoach Preston Enviro 300 SL14LNK has just passed me, having a beer, catching up on here at Wetherspoons in Southport, on the 2 back home. Didn't know they had some new Enviro300s.
