Enviro 200 36073 has transferred from Middleton to Stockport.
We understand that some of the above allocation changes have still to take place.
We are aware that there have been changes to the Magicbus fleet in recent months so would appreciate confirmation on which vehicles now carry Magicbus livery if different from the listing on our allocation document.
 
Stagecoach West
There have been numerous fleet changes here which reflect the service changes of 4thAugust and 1stSeptember which saw the introduction of the new Cirencester College services (the reason for all the Reserve Fleet Tridents going back into the main fleet) and the takeover of the X5 service and Severn Express service from First. This is the reason for the transfer of Gold-spec Scania/Enviro 400s and MAN/Enviro 300s to North Bristol). The remains of 36078 have been sold for scrap. An update allocation list for this fleet can be downloaded from the link below.
