I assume its part of a trial run for the batteries, wouldn't be surprised if by lunch time or dinner time its swapped out for a diesel bus like 37193 or one on standby
so it be likely stay out until around 7pm then swapped as there be spares on bus park by that point
I dont think its a trial more a bus doing its job

How come 80360 could do the 111 if the bays at Interchange are meant to not be able to fit them? Its confusing me
They can fit not properly eg cant lower or open ramp due to the curb at front of bus

So I'd assume for now they're not letting wheelchair or disabled people that need a ramp on the E400EVs from or to Interchange till its sorted?
Would imagine that'd break a few laws
as long as the driver lines the bus up to platform then it should be level
officially the E400 Electrics I believe are only meant to stay on school duties to li them coming into Interchange until ciuld have resolved it (believe so far stands 2/3/4 have been adapted)
But I dont know fully as its only what told maby James Taylor or someone who knows may be better to explain that one

Buses can fit on the bays. Just have to be very very careful. It’s a bit too close for comfort that’s why they are changing.
Only 2 chargers working at garage currently hence the drip feed of them out.
Not just school cards a lot of that is because school cards are more often than not one of the last out of depot in morning so when short they go out.
There’s been a Yutong on a 111 last night and also a 7 circuit today. Also a ADL on Wrens

Anyone know whats happened to 28641 CN12 AWP, 10735 SN66 VXC, 37457 SN67 WUX and 19638 MX59 KJY?
Theyve all been out of service for a substantial time (most of the above for at least a month now)

My guess its for some repaint exclude 19638 and 37457 they've already been repainted but 28641 and 10735 maybe going for a repaint and maybe repair for all.

Does this mean some new buses for Scunthorpe
I believe scunny are sending hull some 19***'s tempory that be swapped for electrics near the date they launch
Eg 19***'s will go one way and electric comes back

How are Scunthorpe surviving with all of these buses going to Hull we already have 27201 out of service
Presume School/College services finishing for the summer will help

Probably not as intensive as Hulls services are, and i do see like 5 buses ish during school time only doing those CDC routes then nothing else for the rest of the day, which is very bad for Stagecoachs economy when another depot could use them

Probs 27201 could do one of 4 things. 1. Repaint 2. Repairs or 3. Transfer to somewhere else or 4. A loan to another place to help out.

19209 isn't in service at Hull yet so no idea what it is/was doing at the depot
19189 has had its MOT done and returned to depot at 9am after starting a 12 shift. No idea if its going back to Scunthorpe.
63150 is on H0709 and 63149 on 18.

19209 is probably not going to be in service again. It was blowing a crazy amount of smoke out of the engine on normal runs and was constantly running slow. Im wondering if it has swapped for a different bus as Mansfield is already low on busses and can’t afford to lose a bus.

Hmm, why would it be sent to Hull though?
As for the other thing, I would assume due to schools being mostly on their last day today that Stagecoach will have more spare buses around, so i doubt anything will transfer until September by which time the E400EVs and E10s will be in service at Hull anyway, freeing some diesels for Mansfield and other depots.
All speculation though I got no idea whats gonna happen
Also the E12s stored elsewhere for hull should be in service
Good point. Maybe it could be at Hull for major repairs, as Hull does handle repairs. But, like you said, school is nearly finished, so there will be some extra buses, and that bus was planned to not go past October 1st. Therefore, there may be no point in actually repairing it at this point of time. The only other theory I have is that it could be transferring drivers to pick up something, as Stagecoach did this a couple of months ago to Mansfield from Workshop.
