Fleet changes at Stagecoach West have seen Dart SLF  34618 transferred from Stroud to Swindon to replace 34727 which is now shown by the company as in Reserve. The replacement at Stroud is 34617 from Reserve. Stroud has also received Dart SLFs 33307 and 34786 from the Reserve Fleet in exchange for 34403 and 34404. At Gloucester Trident 17626 is out of service and officially in the Reserve Fleet, being replaced by 18377. Sold and no longer part of the fleet hare are Dart SLFs 33960/74/77.

It is reported that new ADL E40D/Enviro 400MMCs 10463-85 are now all in service with Stagecoach Manchester at Hyde Road garage with just 10486/87 to enter service. There entry into service will see Enviro 400s 19265-68/77 transfer to Ashton and 19326/27 return to Stockport. Following conversion to single door layout we understand that Tridents 17452/99 are allocated to Ashton. The MAN/ALX300s recently transferred from Stagecoach East have seen little use here with most remaining in the Reserve Fleet and reports suggest 22335 from Middleton has now joined them. The next batch of three Tridents for transfer to Stagecoach South East are expected to be 17636/37/39 with 17639 likely to be allocated to Dover as a replacement for Volvo Olympian 16740.
