Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Out of interest with this new merger if say Manchester are short of vehicles for some reason or other could we actually end up seeing Merseyside Depots helping out and vice versa?

Also will this mean the legal addresses will have to be changed on all vehicles?

Changes from 1 December 2025

Interesting move, kind of reminds me when First had Wirral & Chester, they moved Wirral & Chester depots from Potteries to Manchester licences.

Latest Stagecoach Scotland East fleetcard has Enviro300 27217 as down as transferring to Merseyside (27211-7 left Midlands earlier this year for Scotland East). Also Scania 28647 also coming to Merseyside from the same source, although I'd say unlikely for Gillmoss given most of these seem to be at Preston now......

27217 is still in Scotland at the time of writing. 28605 + 28647 have arrived from Scotland though and are currently at Gillmoss. 15588 has returned in the awful new livery too.
