Are Chester getting anything back in exchange for these?

I can only assume that the ex-Goldline Solo's will cover these.

There is one USB charging point per two seats throughout, minus the front three over the wheel arch and the middle seat at the rear. The charging points themselves are 5V, with one port being a 1 amp, and the other being a 2.1 amp port. It is advisable to stick your cable into the 2.1 amp port if you want to charge your phone as this is like connecting it to a mains charger whereas the 1 amp port would be like charging your phone from a PC.

The ex-Midlands Goldline Solos are replacing Darts. I would assume that standard Solos 47034/5 are replacing 19062 and 36808

Not really as a bus that size is required for the Tesco free services and one school contract.

Maybe if that was all they where used on but using them on the 41/42 and 38 was just a joke, I also recall around the time these arrived it was stated that any spare full sized Buses would be allocated to them services due to a number of complaints of the longer Enviros getting really busy

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
When travelling to work this morning on route 2, I noted that a few of the vehicles that were previously on routes 1 & 2 are being used on 41/42 services. I'm wondering if this is part of the plan to put larger (albeit older) vehicles on routes 41/42 on at least some diagrams, pending some newer buses being acquired in the future?
