RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots
Can anyone confirm if 16958 will ever be used on the City tour again despite it now being back on the road? Had no luck finding it and the tracking appears to have switched off.

16958 does still do tours, not often, it’s usually mainly on the staff bus

I know its deffo on the road as I saw it on staff bus last time I was in Chester sounded like it was misfiring.

Enviro400MMC’s 11101, 11102, 11103, 11104, 11105, 11106 are all now here, 11107 is also coming as well, currently in for repaint, when that returns, 11106 will go then 11101. 15611 is currently at Chester as well presumably on loan, 15584/85 are still around too

A quick look this morning at Rock Ferry......with Bee Network 76103 & 21431 present.....................and a METRO liveried E200MMC, not one of the new ones either, as it's painted the same way as the Arriva ones (but not one of those of course), and I believe it's one of two being loaned for use at St Helens......I'm told 37488 and 37495 are expected so one of those it will be.

Enviro400MMC's 11108 and 11109 are expected to transfer to Chester after being repainted

Manchester Hybrids 12124/5 and Enviro200 37154 have been sighted at Rock Ferry in the last couple of days....comment elsewhere suggests the hybrids are for schools.

Guess these are stop gaps until Wirral schools get franchised.
