These Solos were used on the '133-WATERLOO/KIRKBY ADMIN' route until last Sunday night....

Ah, that explains it then

Most if not all the Solo's are earmarked for transfer in the near future as with the withdrawal of the 133 there is not the requirement for Solo's at Gillmoss apart from the 197/8 route in Kirkby.

Mostly going to be big buses on here as the 22/23 is going to also be aimed at Fazakerley Hospital staff and patients due to the chronic parking situation as they've just removed over 100 parking spaces, and more clinics are due to open on the site in the future as well as a new bigger A&E being built next year!

Every time I have seen a 22/23 it has been a solo, maybe they were testing the water using them on those services to see how busy they get.

Stagecoach Solos usually found on the 162...

Very little need for vehicles this small though.

And Gillmoss engineers aren't too fond of them either!
