Here's photos of the two vehicles;

SN64 OHY (27150) on the 500 to Birkenhead

SN63 MZP (27895) on the 501 to New Brighton

I was glad to see that the loading on the 501 that I used was about half full when it left.

I was going to ask what time was them two services pictures taken , as the services at the time of the pictures being taken didnt look busy.

They were taken at half 12 and 1 o'clock, usually picks up after first trip.

Thanks for that , i was going to say they look light loads , but probably not helped by a number of enforced club closures in liverpool.

Does anybody know what stagecoach depot ran the 157 (Rainford - Ashton) and what buses were used on it yesterday? I am assuming that Gilmoss ran it with solos (or the 56 reg enviro 200 they have atm?)

As I said earlier in the ACE thread, given the location of Bryn depot, it would make more sense to run from there with minimal dead mileage compared to Gillmoss.

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Cheers BBB and SLT Regular! In response to St Helens Rider, I'm pretty sure one of the workings starts from Rainford. If so dead mileage from Gilmoss is a lot less than Bryn and combined dead milage will be roughly the same from either depot. We'll just have to see tomorrow I suppose!
