10534 - 10551 ADL Enviro 400 MMC for Gillmoss.
10564 - 10577 ADL Enviro 400 MMC for Gillmoss.

Brilliant news about these new double-deckers coming here! At the risk of being a party-pooper, I'd have preferred a single batch of 32 consecutive vehicles.

Nice to see the improved interior specification as well as a second deck! It will be interesting to see if these have USB sockets in addition to the almost inevitable Wi-Fi, as promised in the Merseyside Bus Alliance agreement of late last year.

Is it confirmed yet which routes the second batch of 14 Enviro400s will be operating? The 86 and 82 would seem the obvious places.

The improved interior also features in 2 other new Enviro400-MMCs below. I wonder whether it will be standard for Stagecoach? The current moquette dates back to 2001.
