Yes they are.
Afaik 6 of the batch should be staying at Hinckley for the 158/X84 routes as they now require deckers.
Derby are meant to be having the YX17 plated ones.
I think the 158 has a PVR of 6, so surely more would have to stay?

Hinckley have 7 Double Deckers 4552-4558
6 for 158
1 for X84
6 for 158
1 for X84
At the minute, head office are trying to contest that we only need 6, after originally saying 7, but we’re fighting for the 7th still.

8054 has entered service.
Also, what is 3153 doing tracking in Luton and on the LC16 at the same time?!

Possibly a miss track on bustimes.org
Aren't the 72 plate MMCs meant to be staying between Hinckley and Coalville depots unless plans have changed.

3153 isn't one of the 72-plates that were new to Leicester

oh yeah.
3152 is showing as last tracking on 12th Feb and 3153 only started double tracking on 13th Feb so very likely a machine swap and wrong flwet number inputted.

The moquette is probably comfier than the generic arriva e-leather anyway. Yes, slightly disappointing however they’re brand new buses so after all these years and complaints on here I’m sure passengers will be grateful regardless.

Enviro 400s 4558 and 4561 have moved to the North East, arriving at Redcar depot today

4558 used to be Hinckley they now have 6 Double Deckers from 7 with today’s transfer moves
Versas 2974 and 2976 have also seemingly moved from Shrewsbury to Tamworth, tracking on Tamworth routes today. These have allowed Pulsars 3707 and 3746 to move back to Derby. Citaro 3914 is now SORN: https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/VehicleFound?locale=en
For me, it says ‘this website is forbidden’

4549 the one which often repeats itself with the 'this is arriva service' announcements every time the doors open or close.
Enjoy...

You'd think passengers would know it was Arriva, for some reason... I seriously doubt it will appear on any routes I use.4549 the one which often repeats itself with the 'this is arriva service' announcements every time the doors open or close.

Could be worse, one of the Yutongs on the Hospital Hopper plays a loud gunshot sound whenever the next stop announcement is starting up!4549 the one which often repeats itself with the 'this is arriva service' announcements every time the doors open or close.

In Derby, that counts as brand new.
That looks quite smart, it's a shame the livery really doesn't hold up well after a couple of months in service.
That's a bit of good news, I saw it last week and I don't think it had any panels without dents.
