Unlikely, I believe they are only at Hull until some more of the Volvo B7RLEs leave the Grimsby depot and free up space. The MMCs are replacing some of the B7s which is why they're transferring down

Cascades from Scotland are starting to arrive, seen 10907 on Facebook outside Vic Street depot with a very happy driver!

10907/8/12 and 16 (by process of elimination - 10916 hasn't been pictured) are at Grimsby now
10909/10/11/14/15 are at Hull
10916 is indeed also at Grimsby. Guessing that was the one in the group I run, I know said driver and he was definitely in his element being involved with the transfers
I can't lie it's a little depressing going from lively paint jobs to dark blue exteriors and interiors. It was bad enough simplifying an already decent branding when they were known as the Humber FastCat and Flyer. I get why they need to do it since it streamlines the process but it's just unneeded!
A few observations from today. Pictures show a few of the Scottish arrivals. 1) 10912 on the pits in the workshop. I'm not sure if it shows up, but the blind says "I'm heading for a new home"; 2) an unidentified Scottie at the back of the workshop, behind a very sorry looking 190??; 3) 10908 (which I might nickname whizzy with that reg' plate!) stands out in the yard, which may suggest it was available for service, though so far it hasn't tracked.
Another increase in allocation coming up for the Spalding outstation from 27th May with the launch of CPCA funded T7 between Wisbech and Chatteris, looks to be a PVR of three vehicles.
Good to see the Spalding operation growing further following its relocation from Long Sutton with the Spalding Town Services IT1/2 being taken on last month, and now the T7 coming along!
According to bustimes 19107 has been painted into the ‘we’ve got you’ Livery so this could officially mean that This is the end of the Cleethorpes Seasiders
Visible in the workshop today (photo shows 19107 in base blue "We've got you" livery in Grimsby garage workshop on 9th May 2025)

There's also a closed-top Enviro 400 visible in the workshop in base blue livery, but I couldn't see a fleet number on it.
Plus 19200 has arrived in Grimsby, as per the picture below;

Just leaves 19206 to be the last arrival from Skegness then if 19200 is here. 206 hasn't tracked since 2nd May so could be on the way soon/already here
The Grimsby service changes are now on the website. Most timetable changes look like evening and weekend/Sunday enhancements. No major daytime lifts other than the 250/51
Most of the ex Scottish E400 MMCs are now at Grimsby and as of this morning some are starting to track on Bustimes.org

I don't know the intricate details, but yes, I understand they are. Also to get things in place ahead of a law change which will state villages with a population of 10,000+ should be provided with bus services 7 days a week.

So, could this mean other places in Lincolnshire which are known for a lack of Sunday and bank holiday bus services such as Gainsborough or Kirton In Lindsey will eventually have such services introduced?

The driver I quoted doesn't tell me anything from the rumour mill. He only gives me news he's been told straight from the company. He's very reliable, personally I would say more so than news articles. But I understand what you say, so if I have any news in future I'll keep it to myself.
Erm, it does! It’s in the first sentence and is the main purpose of the bill. However, as a private member bill, it’s highly unlikely to become law. Even if it did, where would the money to pay for it come from?
