I'd imagine over the next year or 2 we'll see some ex London tridents cascaded up too to replace some of the older deckers

Do we know where exactly are the planned new 400s going, could they be either going to Gilmoss with their tridents moving to Chester and Rock Ferry. Or many more 400s for Manchester with there tridents moving Chester, Rock Ferry and Wigan??

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
No Enviro400s for GM, no plans for any Manchester vehicles to move over either.

My money is on ex-CY Olympians for the short term, then ex-CY S reg Tridents and ex-PR 04 Tridents. There's no need for external stock in - MY&SL should be able to cover it themselves with existing vehicle replacement.

Notes 2 x Enviro 200's out & about on service 2 earlier today. First time I've seen any of the newer buses on the QP routes.

Thought I saw one with a single digit route in the rear display box whilst by the retail park in Bromborough a little earlier! Hopefully might see on on my way to work in a bit!
