Stagecoach East
Tridents 18420/22 are now in the Strategic Reserve Fleet from Peterborough and have been placed into store at Ely. Similar 18421 and 18349 are due to be taken out of service imminently and moved to Ely for storage.
We now understand that the former Norfolk Green Tridents 10052-55 will be transferred from Cambridge to Bedford to allow the tridents there 18336, 18419/23/24 to also be placed into store. By last weekend only 10054/55 were in service at Cambridge with 10052/53 being prepared for transfer, which is likely to include a seat retrim in standard Stagecoach material. 
We have also picked up that Peterborough-allocated Enviro 200 36011, which currently carries Cancer Research UK livery could be transferred to the training fleet.

Delaine Buses
Volvo B7TL/Alexander ALX400 165 has was sold for scrap in July to T Wigley (dealer) after being used for component recovery here. It has been replaced by a former Dublin example, numbered 166 and re-registered AD56DLD which joined the fleet in June and is now in service.
We understand that the company is no longer planning to take delivery of two further Wright-bodied Volvo B8RLEs and that it is looking at options for its single deck replacement plan.
Work is currently underway at the depot to extend the workshop area.
