That makes sense.

Makes sense too if they're waiting for Headbolt Lane to open so the 319 connects with the trains there instead of at Kirkby Station

Does anyone know whether 24126 is currently in passenger service as I haven’t seen said bus for ages and although bustimes can be unreliable said bus hasn’t tracked since November last year.

Thanks In Advance

I think it's a driver trainer these days......

There are five of them in the training fleet if I remember right, those being 24126, 24127, 24128, 24152 & 24153.

Noticed whilst looking at Bustimes that the 319 service is listed as a 'closed door service, not available to the public' I know general inaccuracies regarding Bustimes specifically with tracking but not routes, is this some kind of oversight?

You can see the reason why here on their twitter: https://twitter.com/bustimes_org/status/...3539924995

If you look at other Gillmoss routes you'll see a good number are shown the same way (such as the 82/6, 86C etc).

Arrivals to report from Stagecoach Manchester are of Enviro 200s YX64 VMO/R (37148/50) and Enviro 300s ST59/RT59 JPT (27624/5) for increased requirements in April with extra schools coming.

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
What are the chances of 27624/5 finding their way into normal service or will they just be for Schools?

RE: Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot
I would say its very likely they will find use in regular service. A further Enviro 200 is MX62 LVR (36781).

Could any of these find their way to Chester for when the 84 to Crewe Starts?
