819 (Pride) has apparently transferred to Worksop (East Midlands) with more maybe going that way

Ah yeah I saw that, I think 10817/20-29 will join 10819 down in the East Midlands

10828/29/30 & 11108/9 are due for transfer out but still in use, the two 111s might end up being sent to to Preston to join 11110 upwards instead of Chester while the 108s will probably leave the area altogether.

10832/10834 are away presumably getting painted into Merseytravel colours to go with 10565/6/7 10818/33/35/36/37/38/39/40/41/42/43 which are already done.
10831 is the only 108 still at Gillmoss in stagecoach beachball but I think it will be the last one for Merseytravel colours, I heard that 17 were getting done.

There are no E-300s, old ADL E-400s or Scania E-400s in service there.

Apart from the electric buses, the only other buses at Gillmoss are

• 2 Solos
• 3 Mercs (Chesters DRTs are suppoed to be on their way too)
• 2 short & 6 long E-200s

The E-200s are usually found on the Maghull Circulars, along with occasional Solo.
They will no doubt remain at Gillmoss until the Sefton Franchise starts and the Franchise holder for that area takes over the Ciculars.

I think the last load of MMC’s and 300’s will transfer out anytime now I reckon

I wonder if the SK15's at Gillmoss (27218/21-3/8) might join the Chester ones???

I was wondering that myself, they still have 27925 to try and replace at some point but I’ve heard it may be painted up and going into reserve
