I think you mean 26 plates. Was always expected at this point with them being unregistered on the 75 plates and not due to enter service till after 1st March.
It’s for Hull now due to delays in the depot rebuild and electrification at Mansfield. They will be replaced at Mansfield with buses from Hull’s later order once the work at Mansfield has been completed.
I think it should be this year as from what I had heard is Torquays U11DDs are due in the spring but Hulls are later in the fleet numbers so will be later than that.
According to this article the electric buses are still planed to enter service this spring. But it also suggests that Hull are getting 32 Enviro400EVs so look likely that they are also getting the ones orginally due to go to Mansfield. It makes no mention if Hull are still due any Yutong U11DDs...
With the way the blocks works they likely to go on the 3 as well as both routes only have H03 and H05 blocks meaning most have blocks have services on the 3 and 5.
I can definitely see 19541 being fixed but for 24135 I guess it depends what the long term plan is and how close the Yutongs are to going into service.
Ok. I just thought with a lot of this batch having been withdrawn from service and I think it was due for withdrawal before it moved to Hull. I thought maybe it had a major failure and they had withdrawn it
I wonder if 24135 PO59 HYA will return as not been in service since 20th December and now SORN. This means it only lasted like one month in service in Hull. i don't think it will return to service.
I would expect 26 or 76 plates depending on when they arrive and go into service. They would have to registered before the end of next month to be 75 plates. I would also guess it’s likely the Enviro 400EVs will become 26 plates as well.
If you are refering to MyBustimes. It is not new and the information can't be relied on as it purpose is for people to create there own fictional transport companies for there own purposes.
