The first of the recently acquired Enviro 200’s from Go North West has been repainted and is seen here at Milehouse awaiting the finishing touches. Thanks to Jason Beverley for the photo
This will be 2466 and hopefully will be out and about pretty soon
Meanwhile the first of the double deckers expected from Oxford are due to arrive this week
Are these going out in tramlines or just plain red?
ReplyDeleteAlso you mention the deckers, what reg's are they? I didn't realise we were getting more, who are they for?
I guess tramlines but guess it wont be long before we find out! The Dds are 11 reg Enviro 400 from Oxford. seems like they are being re-registered from their xx11OXF regns before coming down.
DeleteInteresting that we're getting those. Ex hybrids I believe. I'd assume these would replace the OmniDekkas, and the 400 series would move to school duties. Wonder if Oxford would ever part with their E400MMCs now they're going all out Wright fleet
DeleteIt's been off site for some body work by the looks of it, but none of the old decals or internals have been removed yet. Surprised its not been done in house.
ReplyDeleteI see, makes sense. Any early indications of what the E400s will be used for? Replacement for the scanias im hoping? Depends how many we get from Oxford I guess….
ReplyDeleteThere's 17/18 available, but not all at once, as its dependant on new arrivals, I believe
DeleteAs per JB on facebook, 15 coming down with 3 already down
Delete15 arriving, primarily displacing the Omnidekkas.
DeleteDartline Streetlite 1227 is out on the service 59 in Plymouth today
ReplyDeleteCan’t come soon enough it seems. A Dartline bus has been brought to Plymouth to cover shortages and is out today on 59s according to bustimes.
ReplyDeleteWas already in plymouth....dartline had a few withdrawn and sent them to pcb to store before being sold, and use as a reserve if needed. Seems alot on the gravel thats awaiting work/parts
DeleteThe Streetlites have been in Milehouse for some time, they were not due to be used but instead sold or scrapped, but desperate times...
DeleteOpen topper 468 is back out on the 25 today and yesterday, wonder if thats because of shortages, or the nice weather...
ReplyDeleteSaw opentopper on 25 PCB and Stagecoach 2A both on Royal parade together this afternoon
DeleteJust been on one of these on the 61 into town not in red yet YY56 PFJ fleet number 2467. Nice inside although a bit noisy and it certainly doesn't like hills!
ReplyDelete2466 is out in plain red, there's a Citybus logo on front but no other decals
ReplyDelete136 is also now withdrawn
