Stagecoach MCSL - Gillmoss Depot

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Merseyside is not unique in aiming for 5 year replacement of vehicles on flagship routes. Although it is unlikely that it will happen next year, 5 years of age is usually the minimum at which vehicles are replaced like-for-like. (E.g. Chorley's Tridents on 125 were new in 2004 and were replaced with Scania Enviro400s in 2009).

As the MAN Enviro300s are owned, they would be cascaded elsewhere, most likely to Chester & Wirral to replace the L94UBs, or maybe elsewhere to replace non-DDA ALX300s.
However, for the moment there is no suggestion that the MANs are due for replacement, so it is pointless to speculate on possible cascades.
