Yes same time as Birkenhead's new Gold MMCs are due

Because they are new and will be buses that I have not previously ridden!

Spotted a Preston depot Enviro300 (think it was 24133) in Manchester this morning turning left from Great Bridgewater Street onto Lower Mosley Street just before 8am this morning.

Should imagine this is to do with route learning for the X61 that starts next Saturday (11 November).

Was in Preston today and did not see any Stagecoach Darts so I assume that they have all finished there. A lot of ex Gillmoss buses in service including 24132/34/37/72, 27717/18,
27768/69/71/73/75 and 27886/87. Most were on routes 3 or 111.
Ex Chester 36804 was on route 3.
Gold bus 15226 was on the X2 whilst another was on the 68.

The last two darts 34813/14 are now allocated as reserve, 34813 was in Southport on Monday, 34814 today (Tue) on Schools services, which are operated by Gilmoss

Whilst out with the camera for the day. I unexpectedly stumbled up some launch/press event at Mann Island today with Gold 10884 for the Heswall's plus very unexpectedly YN67YKS for the X2....no number on this though.

You can tell those x2's are getting new buses, at least 2 of the old batch have lost their branding, Px09 axc (15473) looks to have had a recent paint job.
