Connexions
We were quite surprised to see this phot from Stephen Longmire, a leading light in the Eastern Bus Enthusiasts and a driver with Yorkshire-based Connexions. This was not a photo from last winter, but was taken after a heavy thunderstorm yesterday which was accompanied by significant hail. The bus is Optare Solo SR L50LOW, which was originally registered YJ65EVH.

Stagecoach East
It has now been confirmed that Volvo B9R/Plaxton Panther coaches 53612/13/15-18 have been transferred to Stagecoach North Scotland [Highlands] and are not with the Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire fleet as initially thought.
Dart SLF 34534 has been sold whilst Tridents 18411/12, which has also been for disposal here, have been earmarked for cascade to Stagecoach South East.
The transfer of Busway Volvo saloons 21307/12 and 21363-65 from Bedford, where they had been on loan, to Fenstanton is imminent.
All but four of the Volvo B7RLEs, 21226/27/29/30, at Fenstanton are now in the licenced Reserve Fleet there although a number remain in regular use pending return of the vehicles from Bedford.
Stagecoach Oxfordshire
We understand that another four Dart SLFs have been received here from Stagecoach East - 34537/38 along with 34829/81.
 
Stagecoach Midlands
Two more Dart SLFs here from Stagecoach East are 34421 and 34424.
The 12 loan vehicles (Volvo B7TL/Volvo B9TL/Enviro 400s) here are currently all allocated to Northampton.
 
Stagecoach East Scotland
Volvo B5LH 13111 is currently out of service for repairs and has been replaced at Arbroath by Enviro 200 fm36 (MX14FUP) which is on loan from Ferrymill Motors.
Withdrawn from use here is MAN/East Lancs training vehicle 25203, which is due to be donated to the Fire Brigade.
