Stagecoach MCSL - Chester & Wirral Depots

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
An attempt to demystify movements (I know things are slightly different on the ground with buses being painted before some are withdrawn etc):
Assuming a like-for-like replacement number-wise, there was 44 single deck buses acquired from First on old style registration plates, 21 brand new Enviro200's went in plus 9 Dart's from Stagecoach Western, 2 8.9m Enviro200's, 7 B10BLE/Renown's due to move in, plus the 2 B7RLE's from Wigan, so there's effectively 41 replacements for 44 buses. In theory, these last few buses could be covered by Dart's from Gillmoss when they get their new Enviro's at the end of Summer, with the B10BLE/Renown's also possibly replaced by Dart's if it is possible.
