RE: Stagecoach Merseyside - Gillmoss Depot
As a rule the Darts tend to only do X3 and 53 nowadays though. The Kirkby Circulars did used to get odd Darts when it was 197/198 but I think have been pretty much entirely Solo operated as 97/97A/98/98A. 163/263 will have to be Solos too, 135 likely Solos too - Darts might do 135 at a push but the long Darts at Stagecoach are too big for it really. 217/227 can cope with Darts too but it is almost entirely operated with Enviro300s. buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

Whenever the bus in front is missing Darts struggle to cope, especially at peak times. As a matter of interest, how many Darts are still left in GM? |

Did it used to do the part behind Ravenscourt then? That was always the tightest part when I drove it at HTL - there were times getting the Solo around was pretty tight! Arncliffe and Torrington aren't so bad though. We've been told it will be Solos anyway and they are getting enough in to operate it with them! buses7675 http://dartslf.com/ Light up, light up as if you have a choice,

I think there's only six left from the original 2005/06 £6.5m allocation of 75 when Stagecoach took over GTL. These are the last of the 55-plates (34803-34808). A few of these have AdBlue fillers. |
