Oh I think it might be a mistrack with 27762 as that buses tracking was somehow worse than 19498.

I have noticed that 80295 and 80306 advertise free wifi as a feature on the back of the bus but don't actually have wifi.

Not sure why but its weird. Might be for repairs and maybe a repaint.
I would imagine it would be one of the first Enviro 400s to go, considering it's age and it was originally a decommissioned one before being brought back to service. Very unlikely a repaint is on the cards.

Last few times I saw 19126 out it sounded pretty ropey, and it didn't manage to complete it's running board last time it was out.

I've not seen where '126 is for myself, but the corner of the workshop is usually where withdrawn buses go when they get used to provide spare parts.

(As always with my posts, I'm not on the inside, it's just based on previous observations and experiences)

By the sounds of it then. It seems like it’s been withdrawn

27197 yesterday in Worksop
It will be a Worksop ticket machine having an identity crisis. Sometimes they forget which bus they are on and revert to a previous fleet number. They do that sometimes.

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==

Some big changes in the pipeline for Worksop.

MAN E300's going to Hull with Scania E300's returning back.
Both ADL E300's and some E200's transferring out.
All but 4x ADL E400's to leave either scrap, reserve or to other depots.
MMC 400's in from Gillmoss & Hull
Possibly a Scania E400 due from Skegness also.

1. Where is the source?

And if true, how come Scanias are going back for them ripoff MANs? Weird to swap them back after only a year

MANs were originally swapped for Sherwood Arrow Nottingham Euro 6 requirement. They have proved unreliable for long distance work and will be replaced by the MMC DDs. Scanias are none standard at Hull so makes sense to keep them at one depot.

Dont know the intended destination of the E300s but Hull sounds a good bet to me
