This is also my thought.
A couple of years ago, when on Holiday in Scotland, I saw more Ferryhill Motors buses running around with Stagecoach fleetnames, then I saw Stagecoach buses. At the time I was think that it was yet another company, which Stagecoach had taken-over.

I think Ferryhill Motors do the repairs on buses and they provide the courtesy bus to cover for the one they are fixing.

In the case of a no-fault accident (i.e. third party at fault), Ferrymill will carry out the repairs and supply a replacement vehicle, the overall cost being chargeable to the third party.

An interesting one anyway....the MMC's still have to start operation in Cambridge in February and the Wirral line closure is 3/1 to 12/2.
Not sure if this is true or not but ive been told that ARRIVA have the contact for the rail replacement work
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot - T42 PVM - 09/12/2016 22:09
Its been mentioned on here a number of times Arriva are operating the Rail Replacement using the new Buses that are currently being delivered
RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot - motormayhem1 - 09/12/2016 23:10
Each merseyside depot is providing upto 15 drivers each to go on loan to birkenhead for:
7 days a week for 6 full weeks then Just weekends for 4 - 6 weeks then 7 days a week for about another 4 - 5 weeks or along them lines.

Correct, they do have the contract and the new Hybrids for Liverpool will be used on it.....but it seems that these new Stagecoach Cambridge park & ride MMC's (the batch is to be 10789-10810 so 15 out of that lot) may have a very brief loan to Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancs before delivery to Cambridge and the rail reps/extra services seems to be the only logical explanation if they do arrive here briefly....guess we'll soon find out!
Cheers
