Should be the 2 8.9m Enviro200's, SN56 AYF 36071 and SN56 AYG 36072. 36072 has been sat in Carlisle for a couple of weeks now. Lovely Urban90 seats in them... Not really much else here that could be moving, although 9.3m Dart 34218 has been done up and been in the workshops recently.

Good to see that the LED destinations are set up, and include via points.

Wonder if Merseytravel will have to issue new timetables with the Stagecoach logo & information on.

One of the true gentlemen of the industry is Les Burton, a credit to Stagecoach and his profession. As Guy Motors Indian head emblem proudly stated, a 'Feather in the Cap' of Stagecoach.
