I could imagine that they could do a couple of trips but I doubt it due to Nottinghamshire loaning rules and the amount of seats on the bus.

However in Mansfield I noticed they are starting to install screens and speakers on single deckers, 37000 being one.

Have any other transferes moved to/from Hull between the MANs and the 27/28***'s or has this plan been halted?

Heard a rumor the Scania was in Hull to be tested on longer services (11/111, 350) and the 2 MANs were only on loan to test at the 2 garages they went to
27205 was just so hull wasn't short

Not sure how true as my source at the depot has been wrong a few times lately

Would make sense why no transfers further have occurred and the Scania and 24201 aren't being used very much, as 24201 does 2 morning trips and 1 afternoon and calls it a day

Was told Hull are due 5/6 more Scanias for use on 350/111. 28614 not been out in service in Hull as they are currently using it on the bus park to give drivers vehicle familiarization before it goes out properly. However, hasn't been seen since Wednesday as it has developed an alternator fault

From what I heard but it could have changed now was that the idea was to provide Hull with a Scania and Mansfield and Worksop with a MAN each so that driver familiarisation could take place. Then once it was completed at all 3 depots the rest of the transfers would take place.

Yes similar to what I heard but also heard 24197 is broken as is 28614 and might both be getting swapped back

Apparently from my source the Scanias are limited to 11/111/350 if they come meaning there not as practical as the MANs

I believe 28614 is due to go back to Mansfield as it's broken and can't be repaired at Hull as they don't have the parts

As say I'm not at the depot and my source of information is however somethings recently haven't come true so not sure

Also he said if Scanias/27's do end up on 350's then the 26172/3/255 will go Grimsby

I don't see logic of 350 when there newer dedicated buses eg 26172/3/255 on then why replace them with older more unreliable buses may aswell stick MANs on them

Have any more Scania or integral E300's been swapped for MAN's yet?

Or has the switch been put on hold?

28614 all fixed and on the bus park again training drivers on it. Spoke to the instructor and he was also told we're getting 6 more Scania's

22771 parked up at Hull not sure if for service or not but would imagine so

Last I saw of 22771 it was on the 221 between Rotherham & Doncaster on Thursday last week (an unusual allocation as the route is normally run by Yutong’s)

Newly repainted 22776 was out yesterday with no heating working and the windscreen fans also not working; the driver had to keep stopping to wipe the condensation from the inside of the windscreen because he couldn't see through it, which is hardly safe.

Typical Hull that; get rid of a load of MANs, only to get more instantly!

We saw it in 2024 with 22614/15/39 and 24183/6-8 (22635 too but it didn't make it) despite us withdrawing the likes of 22798, 22831, 22764, you name it.

I'm starting to think the MANs are never leaving

Thank you

Does anyone know if any more Scanias or E300's have moved

Looks like 27205 might have moved to Grimsby as it's on 250's

I believe 24135 and 22771 are on Circulars in Hull but neither is tracking or if they are not by the right bus number
