So I'm actually wondering if there in storage before heading to there areas as I not seen anything official to say Merseyside are due any more Solos bar the 2 for Preston which are in service already

No the 3 are for chester for the 6 service in the port 48192/93/94

Read on a Facebook group (sorry can't remember which or who to give credit) that the 6 is being enhanced with developer funding and the 3 new Solos will be used for that.

I thought the 6 & 7 interwork with the short workings on the 2 so I presume that will also change?

I wonder if more solos be due shortly to replace the ex London Enviro200's and the Ex Eazibus Enviro200 as surly getting a little too old for long routes like the 5 to Wrexham

The 6 is a shadow of its former self, that it's now every 40 minutes, that used to be every 15 minutes, & did a loop around Stanney Grange

Can't see 36588 going anywhere at the moment as it's not long been at chester unless it's replaced with something and its on a 59 plate too ive been on it few times it's OK but it rattles a bit along with the rest of them

Isn’t it supposed to be changing in January

I believe the fleet numbers are as follows

YJ74 CXH - 48192
YJ74 CXK - 48193
YJ74 CXL - 48194

And will be used on E6/E7 & 102/3
