It was definitely still in Birkenhead a few days ago and has been parked here for a few weeks. Not sure why, its moved around the yard a fair bit but that seems to be it. Don't think it was about today though so must have finally gone.

'Into The Port' Route 6 Stanney Grange to Glenwood Road

Latest I have been informed (yesterday) is route 6 is coming to RF from September and will be mixed in to normal rota's not as a stand alone route.

This I believe is now a outstation for School Routes in chester plus a general overflow as Chester is struggling for space...yet to confirm this myself 100% but im sure somebody up that way can confirm or decline

Has Chester taken on more school work then? Surely the long term solution would be to sell Liverpool road depot And build a larger depot with better facilities

Probably timetable changes to allow it to interwork with 6 or 36 (cant remember which was mentioned on here a few days ago)

21262 was repainted into standard livery a short while after stagecoach took over so wasn't included in the transfer of vehicles to Grimsby,
