Stagecoach East Midlands - Fleet and Engineering Updates

[Tim33160]

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.

Street Decks are some 6" taller than E400s hence a different profile for the overhanging trees.
Streetdeck = 4.395m = 14ft 5in E400 = 4.2m = 13ft 11ins

19632 is in service seen on 67 last night

 

[Hullian111]

MAN Enviro400s 19622/24/26/29/31/32 are now at Hull. 24192 has also transferred to Hull from Worksop with 28612 going the other way.

19628 is also in hull

Assuming that means the whole batch is coming to Hull, then? Bustimes only has a few listed so far, and I can't be bothered to follow whatever Steven Knight Media has turned into for confirmation.

Yes all 12 are all due from Scotland to give Hull the full batch of 20 MAN engined Enviro400s.

 

[185102]

There is 10 buses overall, 7 have arrived.

 

[Busesfan]

37207 is in Scunthorpe now, I’m surprised it’s not in Skegness

How come a number of Steel Blue E400EVs are currently missing from service? We have 80357 through 80360, 80364 through 80366 and 80368/9, but no 80361-3 and 80367...

Is it a case of theres only so many diagrams that can be covered, or is it that a few of the boards (until next week I assume with the timetable changes they'll redo the boards) still have to do MMCs because they work other routes E400EVs can't?

Well it could also be because the 13 got delayed/cancelled for E400EVs idk.

80363 is out today

 

[Hullian111]

Hearsay from a driver in the business passed down the family seems to suggest Hull have taken delivery of their latest electric buses to 'replace the diesels'. Nothing else specified, unfortunately. I'm of course aware of the E400s transferred in for St Mary's contracts, so any truth to this additional fleet movement rumour?

 

[Patsbuses160]

19115 still in the yard from the other day either awaiting for repairs or give up on sending it out and they're withdrawing it entirely ( I think).
21272 is in the yard.
19382 is in the yard.
27196 was today on a engineering road testing.
26261 is in the yard.
19210 is also in the yard.

 

[Busesfan]

80362 has been let out

 

[185102]

21xxx on 250s today.

 

[Patsbuses160]

Looks like i jinxed them cos right after i posted this 3 more have entered service, so i retract the above message

 

[jimbob185]

19627 and 19630 are both currently at Willowholme depot due to failing on their way down from Scotland.

Well thats not a very good start

While on topic of MAN E400s, 19638 has made its third return today

Hopefully it manages to stay in service for longer this time. I do remember 19639 had a bit of trouble then it first returned from its spell out of service and it seems to be regularly in service now.

Private group, sent by a user on BT Discord, I reckon we’re loosing some Volvos again. They’ve only posted a full photo of 21269 and a cab photo of a unknown interconnect

Thought it was doing 9/10 route or is that a mistrack.

I assume it was taken when not in use for a generic photo but I haven’t got a clue but assuming it’s off out soon

 

[Busesfan]

80367 is out meaning all hulls EVs have been activated

 

[haydezfrfr]

Someone’s had fun with the new added buses, hulls for 2 Yutong UD11’s 83042 and 83054

Some more of the Yutong E12's have been added too

 

[185102]

As I understand it the E12s are due anytime and the UD11s next year?

 

[Zenneth101]

Only a very minor thing but thought it was trivial

11199 has had its rear stripe removed along with the cleaner air statement

Picture for demonstration below (my pic)

 

[Thomas04]

16962 is having tracking issues, with it apparently tracking on the 2A at Cleethorpes. Anyone know if it is at Skegness or Cleethorpes ?
