East Yorkshire Motor Service has sold another Volvo Olympian - this time 692, whilst further ex Finglands vehicles now put into service at Hull include 583/84/89/95/96.
Further Enviro 300s delivered to Stagecoach North East (for service at Stockton) are 27159/60/61 (SN64OJH/J/K).
Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire has painted another Dart SLF in the green-based Lakeland livery, this time its 34713 whilst former Mercedes 709D Information Unit 40011 has returned to this fleet. The allocation of a number of ex London Tridents here is expected to take place in the next month.
With new DDA requirements for single decks due to come into force at the start of 2015, Stagecoach Manchester has upgraded its Weatherfield Wanderer service from Mercedes 709D to Optare Solo. The service operates in the fictional area of Weatherfield, in which the ITV Soap Coronation Street is set. The Merc - 40660 - has been withdrawn and sold to Ensign, although it may be on screen for a while as the programme is recorded in advance. Stagecoach Manchester tell us that the current availability of Solos meant it was possible to upgrade the service!
At Stagecoach East Midlands Volvo B7TL 16906 has lost its InterConnect livery and now sports corporate colours.
