4/11/2019

Stagecoach East Midlands
Another Enviro 400 from Hull, 19689, has been moved to Long Sutton. We understand that 19687 and 19690 are also due to transfer from Hull to Long Sutton. Hull Football Club-liveried 19684 is understood to only be on short term loan to the Long Sutton fleet and will return to Hull when 19687 and 19690 are transferred. The brightly-coloured 19684 was seen in service on the 505 in King’s Lynn on the morning of November 2nd by Sam Larke who provided these pictures.
Another confirmed departure from Long Sutton, which has been put into service at Hull, is Trident 18335.

35/Scania/Enviro 400 15810 is also expected at Long Sutton from Skegness.
All remaining vehicles from the Long Sutton allocation are due to transfer away with Tridents 18335/40/41/44 due to go to Hull and 18348 and 18416 to Skegness. 18335 is likely to be placed into the Reserve Fleet. Enviro 400 19068 is due to transfer from Long Sutton to Worksop.
Once the six Scania/Enviro 400s from the Stagecoach Oxfordshire fleet enter service the Enviro 400s from Hull will be returned and Scania/Enviro 400 15652 should return to Worksop. This will make the Long Sutton allocation all Scania vehicles.

Tridents: 18335/40/41/44/48, 18416
Enviro 400s: 19068, 19684/86/88/89
