I wonder if the NSA have been fitted.19377 was brought off the pits at Hull around 0830 this morning.

Yep, it was definitely in Grimsby, I didn't walk the dog all the way to Hull lol.
If it wasn't 19377 then there is another E400 in retro livery in Hull I had to pop into stagecoach for something and saw it, it also had engineer and test blind on the destination blind. But obviously im wrong as people on here seem to know best. I went in around 0820/0830 and it was coming off the pit next to the 2nd wash bay. Possible MOT?

It probably had been over to Hull for MOT, as I saw it in Grimsby at around 11.
However it appeared to have been backed off the pit that it had been over for a couple of weeks, so I'm guessing something needed checking when it arrived back.

It’s MOT expires 22nd October 2026 as we do MOT tests at hull so it could of been there but it is definitely our vehicle as hull gained ev’s so we got their old stock

Had a bad feeling since the MAN-engined E400s came in that this would be a bad year for loans, and I think that bad feeling is more or less confirmed... virtually all Hull-native E400EVs and E400 MMCs working the park and rides at the moment per bustimes, and I can only assume the transfer E400s are waiting in the wings to cover for them once they're off the St Marys runs. 36115 seems to only be doing a couple of 4s. I know this is only the first night, but I reckon this could be as bad for vehicle variety as 2021 was.

I would put this down to the fact Enviro 400EVs cant operate any route safely except 3, 5 and 12 (although they have been know to try their luck on the other routes), so Stagecoach probably thought to use the excess E400EVs and give them some usage as the 22 doesnt touch Interchange at all, but not good from a bus enthuasists POV.
36115 I can only assume is a 27633 type loan, freeing the doubles for the fair workings by holding down the fort as it were, such as the routes not touching fair at all, as naturally they'll be the ones with less passengers.
I do hope we see some traditional loans though and not just the 1 E200.
