Three Optare Solo's from Exeter are heading up to Merseyside on Friday, ousted by new Solo's although don't know which depot they will end up at up here, they will be 47081-47083 WA04TWU/V/W. Info from someone who works at Stagecoach South West via the Stagecoach Enthusiasts facebook group.

If those solos are for Gm I have no idea what they are going to use them for as most services need at least a dart sized bus.

They could just as easily be for Birkenhead, Chester or Preston, just Merseyside is stated. No mention of double deckers in the post though so a case of wait and see as regards to those.

Apparently Gillmoss are starting to use a couple of Buses for changeovers since Norton Street shut so maybe they are for that, Wigan have a Solo for the same reason

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
I take it changeovers are not in service? If not, why would they use a bus as opposed to a car?

The Solos from South West are to replace the W/X reg examples that came with the ex-First operations.

The older Tridents (V/Y Reg) from Chorley are here and are dumped in the corner with the Training Bus Fleet
