RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Are the Dart's seeing much use right now? I was behind 34808 which was not in service, though it had been on the 204 over a week ago, but the trackers pop up at the depot late at night or throughout the day occasionally presuming when the buses get spot checks or go out on staff shuttles/school contracts. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
They are just used as shuttles or the Kirkby spare bus. 34820 is normally Kirkby spare while 34808/09/10 have been in use as shuttles recently, as have many of the Optare Solos. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice. I'll be right beside you dear. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
The Darts tend to do a lot of the Kirkby changeovers on 217s, I can speak from experience on this! haha In the last week I've had Darts 34808 & 34810, Solos 47656 & 47675 (47675 is back out now btw, it had been in reserve for ages) and MAN 24179 all as shuttles from Gillmoss to Kirkby! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

15583 was on the 53 today (and yesterday), quite rare to see a Scania Enviro400 on routes away from Knowsley or Aintree. |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
Does anyone have a list of some sort of the Cummins retrofitted MANs please? So far I know of 24153, 24156, 24174 and 24180. Any others I’ve missed? |

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
24153 still has an MAN engine 24156 & 24180 have Cummins Euro5 engines 24174 has a Cummins Euro6 engine Just those 3 converted as far as I'm aware buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
