    76 plates

    Thanks for posting, confirms for me that the METRO E200MMC's (except 37655/6) are to get 76 plates.....one question though, MF76DZK which is listed above as 82547 for Stagecoach Merseyside.....could this be a mix up with the already existing 82437....which is MF26DZK??? Thanks!

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    I suspect it will be same as Bee Network, as in the vehicles won't show the operator (the fleetnumber being the only giveaway), none of the large amount of new vehicles in store ready for St Helens & Wirral carry operator names on them. The electrics at Gillmoss are still being used on...

    Bus Reform in North Wales - Have Your Say.

    Arriva do have 33 Ultroliners on order for Rhyl currently, for the 11 & 12 (in fact would likely replace all existing deckers)

    Arriva North East

    One of the St Helens ones (4599) has been sighted after refurbishment carrying Northumbria legal lettering, and fleetnumber 7402..................however B9TL 7402 is also there for refurb, so it seems a mistake has been made and 4599 is likely to be off to Speke in 3 weeks along with most, if...

    Britain's Most Scenic Bus routes

    Don't think the 11 has ever served Paignton, only goes as far as Torquay, and only really does a slight detour through Watcombe on it way into Torquay through St Marychurch & Babbacombe. The bit from Shaldon towards Torquay is spectacular along the coast, you can even spot the Isle of Portland...

    Liverpool City Region-Bus Franchising

    I'm told there should be nothing older than 12 plate in the Arriva NW/Merseyside fleet by the end of the year. 1786119818 Not sure if this has been posted before, but it lists 6 Lots and the winners of those contracts to supply buses...I'm assuming these are all for tranche 2 (Liverpool...

    Britain's Most Scenic Bus routes

    The 11 between Dawlish Warren and Torquay is quite spectacular on it's coastal sections, especially after the climb above Shaldon. Did it back in May, and one of Stagecoach Torquay's E400EV's was the bus I went on, although single deckers do work it too.....
