It is not happening tomorrow. There is no set date for takeover yet, but 6th January 2013 is the date they're planning towards for now, it could be later but it is hoped 6th January will be the date. Customer information should be released in plenty of time before the takeover to explain ticketing arrangements (as per Wigan still selling First tickets from Almex machines until January, allowing for First drivers to be trained how to use the ERG machines).
Some Stagecoach buses might end up moving to Chester & Wirral for storage soon though, as more Enviro200's are delivered to Gillmoss for service prep over the next few weeks, Gillmoss will be getting rather full with the stored 27 B10L/BLE's, ex Scotland Dart's and the 20 brand new Enviro200's, plus other reserve and disposal vehicles.
