RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Heard there are a couple of operator changes due on the Merseylink network maybe Stagecoach are diversifying to do this. |

There is the 99x Kirkby Circulars but when I was at HTL even the Sprinters were not recommended for this so I can't see them using the Fiat Ducato on these. Not sure on Merseylink either, as far as I know HTL have just gained more work on Merseylink in the last few weeks. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Optare Solo M850s - They've got five, 47008 KX51CSY, 47711 MX54YZU, 47712 MX05MKL, 47714 MX05MKN & 47743 X612OBN. This in theory allows for two on 197/198 and two on 990/991/992/993 and a spare! In the evenings these sometimes go on the 192 as well. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
How often are all 5 good to go though haha. Mainly find darts on the 197/198 recently, even Versas have been a few times. 34808 was on the 14A today. On another note, the morning 892 from Liverpool ONE to Kirkby Admin has been cancelled. Is this being pulled completely or just a change of operator? |

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Not sure on 892, no one else has put a registration in for it yet so wait and see I think! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Probably given the time of year - a budget cut as per previous 1 or 2 trip morning journeys which have gone over the last few years (194 and 196 spring to mind). |

I've never done the 892 so can't comment on that but that morning 194 (or 194e as it was reffered to as - e for early), the 08:00 off Prescot only really carried about 5 people a day, many of whom just got on as it was ahead of the Arriva service from Sherdley Park to St Helens, that said some other contract services aren't a lot busier than that around St Helens too! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Get a decent load on the one from Liverpool ONE. Cant remember how much revenue it takes though, a lot have Megariders as you'd expect. |
