There appears to be a change of plan as I remember reading on here that some were going to Chester for the X8.

I would say yes, don't forget Preston use to have 100+ buses allocated there in the 1980's/1990's, but nowadays only about 80.

I dont think that was ever the plan, just rumour. I wonder if this means that the tridents used on the 68 will go to Gillmoss.

Does the 68 need all the Enviros from the 125, is it not a lower PVR?

According to the last fleetcard, the 68 as a PVR of 15, and the 125 as a PVR of 22.

Doesn't the Maths Work then? 22 to Chorley 15 of these go to the 68 route displacing Deckers to Gilmoss and 7 Euro 5 ALX's from Gillmoss to Manchester for Magicbus duties replacing the Ex London dualdoor stock?

I noted severe bunching on the 125 today actually 3 out of 4 vehicles i saw on a road in Bolton where on the 125

Stagecoach have been looking at land somewhere between Preston and Chorley to relocate to, unsure where and unsure if its going to happen.

Ye thats correct. Got cleaning and fueking facilities in. The letter also says that it wasnt worth the expense needed to refurbish Chorleys depot thats why its closing.
