I'm guessing the 6th to 8th of August since electrical work has been flagged between 27 Jul 10:25 and 5 Aug 23:59 BST at Stoneferry Road, which mentions a footpath being closed. This matches up with the photos from Hullian111, which prove its Stagecoach's EV connection.

Oh for God's sake, just when I thought we were done with this merry-go-round of E400 transfers...
Anyway, rubbish photo, but 80297's been on the matchday 246 to and from Craven Park:

What surprises me is that we get rid of MANs in the form of the Enviro 300s, yet happy to get more of the Enviro 400s which if you look at 19638 and 19639, aren't exactly reliable either. Plus most MAN Enviro 400s I hear sound atrocious or do the same squealing found on 22759
Not that I know of, but it’ll be when we get rid of the 116xx and 117xx (YX73)

Like I say I think the plan is for most of them to do the st Mary’s contract
Apparently only the best 5 from the scotland 19s are coming or so I was informed yesterday these will be getting seat belted and only used on St Marys routes as per contract requirements
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
I was also informed yesterday although power getting turned on this monday that all 40+ electric buses will enter full all day service on the 8th
However I seen no proof to confirm this
Presume 10061 might get allocated as well as it already had seat belts fitted.
I believe thats going on a new consortium route C4 from september

so if SC Hull is going fully EV allegedly on august 8th, wonder what Lincoln or Grimsby depots would get then if their fading out their old busses. I just pray its not more E300's. But then if our Volvos are going whenever that is , again what will replace them.

The proposed interchange stand modifications were only shared to the council a few weeks ago so I don't think the 400EV's will be in use for a while, unless they don't need to use the interchange.
They are all out on the 8th apparently
They fit on stands but just have to be careful until modification work
They had a few E400EVs in service recently and had no issues on stands

Well womt be full electric there only 40 something electrics and hull aint due to loose much bar a few old 19s and 22s which i guess would get scrapped

I don't know exactly but i've heard 10820-829 but don't know exactly! Their to replace the older SN16's If im correct, i wonder if we will get them
I don't think they would be replacing the three E400 MMCs they have considering they are the same year - more probable any early Trident 2 Enviro 400s they have

Is worksop going majority double deckers?

Supposed to be at least replacing all 08 and older deckers. MANs were also supposed to be going however they may be staying a bit longer as they have had NSA kit fitted and 24202 has gone for paint at Hull.

There's not many left on Merseyside which don't have a home now, just 10817/20-29 from what I see.....unless any of the Birkenhead ones are leaving???
The 246 *should* in theory always be an electric as there are 2 wheelchair users who board the service.
Didn’t you say that SM66 plates from Merseyside were to replace the 19xxx in Hull?
Ferrylift3

I don't know exactly which ones are due but 10817/20-32/34 are surplus. In total there are 37 MMC's due from Merseyside and Midlands to be split mainly between Worksop and Lincoln. Some other depots will get cascaded MMC's from Hull when the electric decker's go in.

Do you know which MMCs are due to leave Hull? As the Enviro400EVs can't replace all the MMCs and Enviro400s
The E400 electrics are mostly replacing 10*** E400MMCs and the early E400s
The E10s are replacing 22s until the E12s are ready or that was the plan recently

Presume that means the pride bus (10741) will go. But I guess in time one of the Enviro400EVs will become a pride bus like 80061 at Midlands. Are the E400s the that are being replaced the 58 and older?

Basically anything that hasn't been fitted with NSA kit is due to go before October. So that's anything 58 plate or older.
From what I'm seeing, Hull will most likely lose all of their MMCs due to the number of buses that need replacing. There are currently 35 400MMCs and 5 200MMCs at Hull, and with 58 plates or older being removed, that is 96 buses that need replacing across the region. Hull is getting 46 EV buses, and there are 37 new MMCs coming to replace older buses, so that's 83 buses being replaced so far (46 + 37), but that still leaves 13 old buses to be removed (96 - 83 = 13). And this doesn't even count the buses that are usable but are either already out of service or planned to be soon, like 37001 at Mansfield, which had a thermal burn in the engine and needs to be replaced. So either there will be more movements or more EVs than anyone was told about.
