Further repaints reported by East Yorkshire Motor Service are 310 and 337 whilst coaches 89 and 90 have been re-registered A6EYC and A8EYC.
Look out for three more ex Stagecoach Manchester Tridents entering service at Stagecoach East Midlands -18282/85/89, which will allow three more Volvo Olympians to be taken out of service with the likely vehicles being 16143, 16455 and 16880. Once out of service 16880 will be transferred to Stagecoach East for donation to Fourfields Community Primary School in Peterborough. These changes will leave just seven operational Olympians on the books at Lincoln depot which are 16131/33/48/51/69, 16456 and 16582. All of the MAN/ALX300s that were delicenced are now for disposal along with Dart SPD 33849.
The Anglia & Thames Valley Bus Forum has reported that Stagecoach East’s E400 19619, which had been on loan to Stagecoach Yorkshire for Supertram work has been returned and it is believed a further two vehicles have also been returned to their operating companies. The next phase of the Supertram work starts in June which will require further vehicles but in the interim it is understood that five of the loaned E400s will be sub-loaned by Stagecoach Yorkshire to Stagecoach South at Winchester for special services in connection with a golf tournament.
