From where?
Would imagine Lincoln with some of the E400 MMCs arriving there from Midlands
80304 should also run an 8C at 10:20 to Bransholme and an 8 back to the Interchange at 12:37 as usually the bus that does the CHA2 does the H9002 diagram.
Which it has done

Im suprised the E400 electrics are in service on 34 and 8C if im honest as the stands are not meant to be suitable

They do fit to some extent as can be seen from this picture of when 80295 was been tested on stand. (Not my picture and I am not sure the exact origin of the picture)

They’ve done changes the past 2 weeks to the stands , otherwise what else did they close them for
I think it was just survey work to determine what needed doing.

Going back to whoever said about the Older E400’s being withdrawn 19531 in Grimsby has gotten a NSA Screen so doubt that’s being scrapped although it’s a 09 reg plate too that’s odd

Lincoln only got them 3 from Midlands, unless their due more but don’t get why we won’t get MMC’s for our Volvos as well because I think we’re still expecting them from Hull once their fully electric
I am mostly referring to those Enviro400s that still don't have QR scanners or next stop announcements, which are most likely going to be replaced with buses from Hull. If any bus doesn't have next stop announcements by this upcoming October, it will legally not be allowed to run, and since these buses are old and are coming to the end of their life, Stagecoach will probably just try to get rid of them. Or they might just be trying to replace buses that are costly to maintain or have issues that mean they can't operate, with 19209 being an example of this, where it moved from Skegness to Mansfield and spent a while being repaired. Now it is just blowing a sheet of smoke every time it moves forward and is known for randomly breaking down. I doubt it could last until next year anyway, so I'm guessing they could be replacing those types of buses instead of randomly picking a place to dump all of their Enviro 400 MMCs.
They havent done anything was just general survey work

37193 is at Hull from Scunthorpe if tracking is to believed

I assume the cause of these will be the vehicle shortage and limbo of Yutongs
This is a transfer as it was on the latest fleet card. I thought it was strange at the time as when the fleet card came out it was still at Scunthorpe and just thought it was a mistake.
I think this was just at Hull to cover for vehicles at Silverstone.

I do love how Hull and Scunthorpe seem to have a trade deal going on
Examples
26177 loan last year to Hull
26174 loan
27201 had a loan spell last July
19564 permanent transfer the other month (May)
27789 loan for a few days the other month
19588 loan
Now 37193
Outs
27789 TO Scunthorpe
27203
27882
19588
I assume its because its the closest depot to Hull and is merely a ride over Humber Bridge that 7 buses make every weekday a few times a day on the 350.

According to Fleet Card, MAN E300 trainer 22575 (SP08 DDE) and Mansfield Move E200 37001 (SN63 YRD?) have both been scrapped or will be very shortly.
This leaves only 22573 in the training fleet at Hull MAN wise

37001 was scrapped due to a thermal incident.
