Former Exeter Solo's 47081-3 parked next to the fence next to the road at the side of Gillmoss depot, pics to follow later although taken through the fence so not the best.

Best I could manage with the fence. Nothing else out of the ordinary visible though, apart from 17448 in the corner by these Solo's

17448 was the dual door thats been at Chester isn't it? They probably wont need it now the schools have broke up anyway will they. Wonder if the Solos will get painted into the newer livery that the Solos now carry.

Yes, I think 17448 was at Chester (missed a shot of it a few weeks back when I was there.....). The Solo's must have had their 'ex-citi' branding removed before heading north. I'm assuming these Solo's won't be staying at GM for service though?

18440 & 18441 are here from Gloucester. The first of 7 (i think) that are due here to replace the current ex London deckers.

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Having had a look at the Stagecoach West fleet card if it's seven Tridents that are due to cascade to Gillmoss then I'm guessing that they'll be 18438-43 and 18447. Considering there are currently ten Tridents at Gillmoss (including short wheelbase 17449) are more deckers due to arrive or are some staying?

Nevertheless I'm pleased to see some more modern double deckers arriving as I'm a big fan of the Alexander-bodied Tridents so I'm looking forward to seeing them entering traffic

According to someone who works for the firm it is but if you could confirm on your walk that would be great
