✤Stagecoach East
the company has confirmed that the 16 Enviro 400MMCs due later this year (10866-81) are for Peterborough and are expected to oust older Enviro 400s used on the Citi 1 service, which in turn will allow a cascade allowing the replacement of some the older Tridents in the fleet. However, the planned upgrade of the Bedford-based 99 fleet and the 99/X5 spare fleet with new Volvo B11R coaches during the 2017/18 financial year is not now due to take place.
