I was on them yesterday Lolly Sounds the same but Noticed Splash sounds even more unhealthy then he did last year whenever the bus tried to change gears there would be a jolt and an awful squealing sound . Also noticed that he’s not out today
Hopefully it’s out on some local routes then
The E400s that came from Manchester in January to replace ALX400s at Mansfield were
She was new to First West Yorkshire in May 2004. If you want answers to questions like this, Bus Lists On The Web (BLOTW) is your friend. You can search by various options and find very specific details.
Thank you
According to bustimes 19230 entered service at Worksop on Saturday and is back out again today.
USB charging? I doubt very much that they’ve fitted that to that vehicle - happy to be proven wrong
I’ve Noticed they’ve Advertised for USB Charging Yet The vehicle Doesn’t Have it
I did wonder about that!

They are due this year - 40 were initially funded, 19 for Stagecoach and 21 for East Yorkshire (if I got that the right way round!). This new funding adds 42 more, again split between the two operators.
Mansfield were already due some with the original funding but can’t remember how many
According to this, 23 from the original allocation: https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/newsroom/news/supporting-green-transport-in-mansfield
The double deckers should be Enviro400EVs and the single deckers Enviro200EVs(10.9m)
I believe the E200s are no longer coming as they can't be built in time for the funding to apply, Yutongs are coming instead
The delay in the production of the Enviro200EV seems to be a huge blow to ADL as many operators are opting for Yutongs or BZLs.
Hopefully the Yutongs as a BZL would not suit the local livery or ‘we’ve got you’ livery
I think it's not so much the length of the route as the duration that the bus will be running. For instance, a bus could go on a round trip of maybe five miles and do this perhaps up to twenty times a day, and I reckon it would probably consume as much energy as another bus might run a twenty-mile round trip ten times during the same period. But bus services that run for longer might struggle without additional vehicles.
I could possibly see them on the 350
Not sure if the chargers at Sheffield Interchange are open to any operator, but I've only seen them used by the free city bus. Considering Stagecoach now run multiple EVs in to Sheffield that makes me wonder if they would be able to recharge there.
19239 and 19240 are now in service, tracking on the 8 and the 50 respectively.
You could just add a one or two vehicles to the pronto and step back at Mansfield looking at the current diagrams they seem to interwork between the long and short runs.
Do you know if Grimsby collected any MMCs today?I've also read (on Facebook) Grimsby are collecting 9 Enviro 400 MMCs from Kilmarnock this Sunday. Looking at bustimes.org I suspect these are 10907-12/14-16. Don't know how true this is however!
I walked past the garage about half an hour ago, and past the back yard, and there's no sign of any. Although if they're driving from Kilmarnock they could still be on the road
Yes very long trip there and back
