That could very well be a vehicle hired to Arriva as it will be a logistical exercise to get Arriva vehicles out and Stagecoach 'Metro' fleet vehicles in

Didn’t TfGM get First to run those late night/Early morning services whilst Stagecoach moved all there vehicles out, the same may happen in Merseyside the night before each Tranche starts.

I think they did yes

Given Stagecoach already run the 10A as well out of Gillmoss (and that will be the last day that happens) they could potentially run the late 'Arriva' trips out of Gillmoss?

I wouldn't know how that would work as us staff will technically still be employed by arriva until 0300 on the Sunday morning. Thats when our contracts will officially be tuped over unless concessions are made and I couldn't see st helens staff wanting to drive upto gillmoss for 1 shift . Will post info as soon as we know

Thinking about it I wouldn’t be surprised if the last week but probably on the Saturday that some vehicles that are not needed for service start to be moved elsewhere so that there is just to cover the PVR and any possible mechanical issues.

Depending on when Stagecoach start moving vehicles in any of the late running services could just park outside the depot when they get back to be moved to where ever they are going.
