RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Am I correct in assuming that GM is to receive Enviro400s cascaded from Preston now that the new Golds have gone into service on the 125? If so, how many are expected and for what purpose? |

RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
Although Gillmoss is gaining more double-deckers, I notice these are Tridents or early Enviro400s. There seems little chance of GM gaining new double-deckers soon. GM will be a bit like Network Warrington for having modern single-deckers but older than average double-deckers. |

Well, given that you have 56 plate Enviro400s replacing 55 reg darts, I can't see what there is to complain about? |

I don't think that it is us in Liverpool that are complaining. Getting 56 reg Enviro 400 to replace slightly older Darts has to be a good deal. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

The ones that I have been on are very good all round vehicles and it's hard to believe they're nearly ten years old. However I think that these Enviro400s should be joined at Gillmoss by further deckers as and when they become available - rather than replaced by something newer as you have suggested. Gillmoss needs more deckers - but as Terence has said this is a good step forward |
