I assume this is the crash that happened near the Depot due to some of the Traffic Lights being out?

Ah, that's what the damaged one I could see today was....went to see if 18440/1 were visible for a photo but they were boxed in in the corner by the side road.

Yep, it got reported about 23:00 on Friday night and nothing got done about it until yesterday morning when the crash happened.

Considering there are currently ten Tridents at Gillmoss (including short wheelbase 17449) are more deckers due to arrive or are some staying?
Nevertheless I'm pleased to see some more modern double deckers arriving as I'm a big fan of the Alexander-bodied Tridents so I'm looking forward to seeing them entering traffic
I couldn't see any more deckers coming in replacement of 10 out going Tridents to be honest.. As we know Gilmoss always get the poor deal when it comes to double deck buses.

I've seen reported elsewhere that 4 of the Versa's have gone to Stagecoach West in exchange for the Tridents, 25229/31-3 are the ones to depart Merseyside. Info from here http://www.stevenknightmedia.com/fleet-news-ramblings .
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot - MPTE1955 - 11/08/2015 13:38
That is a bit of a surprise as I was under the impression that the incoming tridents were to replace the ex-london tridents. So effectively that still leaves some buses that need replacing.

18378, 18385 & 18442 arrived from Gloucester today.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned or not but 27703 has had its 14 branding removed (not sure if it's had a repaint or not though).

It hasnt been repainted, you can still see where the branding was.
