January 4th 2020: Fleet Ramblings

4/1/2020

Stagecoach South West
Volvo B12B 54074, which had been regarded as a Reserve Fleet vehicle here for the Falcon service has been taken north to Stagecoach Highland’s Inverness depot.

Stagecoach South East
Now here from Stagecoach Yorkshire and allocated to Herne Bay for the M2 service is Volvo B9R 53716.

Stagecoach East
Three of the six (21363-68) Volvo B8RLEs with MCV eVoRa bodywork for Cambridge Busway work are currently undergoing eFan modifications in Birmingham with the remaining three due to arrive there by the end of next week. All three carry pale green livery but currently do not have registration plates fitted.

There also appears to be some confusion over the registrations of the 12 Enviro 400XLBs that have recently been delivered here. Whilst initially we had been told that the registrations would be allocated in sequence, we now understand that is not the case and that the following is expected to be the situation. However, none of the vehicles currently have fleet numbers applied.
13901 BU69XYB
13902 BU69XYA
13903 BU69XYD
13904 BU69XYC
13905 BU69XYE
13906 BU69XYF
13907 BU69XYG
13908 BU69XYH
13909 BU69XYK
13910 BU69XYL
13911 BU69XYM
13912 BU69XYJ

We can also confirm that Scania/Enviro 400 15463 has indeed been repainted into corporate livery out of the green-based ‘Greener Smarter Travel’ scheme.
To clarify a number of queries, Enviro 400MMCs 11279 and 11280 are only on loan to this fleet and once the engineering resilience work is completed on the Volvo B11R coaches used on the X5 service they will be transferred to Stagecoach East Midlands.

Stagecoach South Wales
Now here and parked up at Cwmbran are seat belt-fitted Scania/Enviro 400s 15964 and 15965 from Stagecoach Oxfordshire
