I wouldn't be surprised to see Manchester taking said Solos to replace their 51 regs. On the subject of Solos, I really hope Chorley use a pair of their recent withdrawn examples to replace their 2 darts. |

I wouldn't expect all of the Solos to leave Gillmoss but I'd expect two more standard midi-buses in exchange - for example, MPDs - to arrive for the 197/198, but it does depend on whether they're available and whether the services are worth it (and whether they'll manage [or want to] to keep the contract in the future).

With them losing the 133 soon, though, buses will probably have to start at the depot. The other 53s that don't go onto the 162 do 53As to Aintree and finish there for the night.

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Have any Dennis Tridents been re-engined recently ? Some are sounding pretty quick off the mark compared to others. Remind me of Prestons Been hating Urban 90's since 2001

17325 TSU 641 is apparently re-engined with a Euro4 engine, according to info on my photo of this bus from someone who was involved in the work on it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/buses7675/6196025062/ 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. |
