Bit of an odd time to do it with the Consortium school stuff around the corner in just a few weeks if the E40Ds are still doing that, they've had nearly 2 months or so to do it
Depending how fast they can repaint a bus that is

Fair enough, they are similar coloured and styled liveries

I have just seen 16962 getting towed. It’s the Second breakdown in a week for it. 16965 also broke down earlier today, I have a feeling this year will be the last for the B7TLs as they are slowly becoming more unreliable.

37204 is now at Scunthorpe. Is this a loan or transfer
Don’t know but might be a transfer as don’t think Hull need them now as the E10s now run the routes that the E200s were being used on.

A batch of MAN/E400's from Scotland are due to come to Hull this weekend. Possibly 12. I imagine some other buses will move at the same time for space.
Believe this may be delayed slightly.

Ah really, they were only asking last night for volunteers to ferry buses. They don't seem to know what they are doing with these vehicle transfers, all seems a bit haphazard.

Yeah I feel like they're on their last legs.
Some of the Trident E400’s that have been parked up for disposal could be suitable for conversion to open top if they are ok underneath.
I thought they may have been swapped off today with the wet weather

we was planned to get 19106/7 for the b7tl's last year but things changed due to them having new MOT's

Once 19017 goes that would be a perfect one to be converted. It seems pretty reliable same with some of the Interconnect Tridents

Yeah I'd be most suited.

Apparently 19686 is in Grimsby unsure if its a Loan or a permanent move to Grimsby. Its MOT its due Feb 2027.

Are we expecting more or thats it from Hull and 19243 was tracking this morning on the 20 but didn't make it all the way to Cleethorpes pier.

Well hull's getting some Scotland's 400's so i assume we would get some older non NSA Stock, But then we need to install NSA Otherwise they would go too.

10820-29 which are expected to be tansferred from Merseyside to East Midlands have been put back into service at Gillmoss on route 14. Low trees on the route have caused damge to some of the new buses.

From the photos i've seen the tree bars on the Wright deckers look useless, but trees shouldn't be hitting them anyway. With the mayor authority running the buses you would hope any works would be done quicker.
