Another minor change I've seen with our friend 26177

It has for some reason now gained a Beachball font number on the back same as the one its always had on front

Try explaining to an engineer or bodyman about corporate branding, they don't care as long as the job gets done!
Indeed, they probably dont get paid enough to care what font something is in tbf, I definitely wouldn't either as long as it gets the job done and I can go home!

Not saying you think I was but lemme make it a disclaimer for everyone else: I'm not complaining about it, I'm merely pointing it out as trivial, its just a number at end of the day no matter what font its in, this is only for like record, or as stated earlier, trivial.

Could 19115 be withdrawn from service as it last ran 1/9 (nearly 2 weeks ago). And whats happening with 19377?
Let's start with the disclaimer: I'm not on the inside, everything I post is based on observations and previous experiences...

19115 last set out on 1 September but she broke down before starting her running board for the day. She was towed back to depot and hasn't ran since. She's currently parked up on "Laid-up Lane" so with all the aforesaid, I strongly expect she has run for the last time.

19377 last ran 3 weeks ago tomorrow. She managed to do her complete running board for the day, but I've seen her in the workshop on several occasions since. She's still wearing Stripes livery, so it must be some sort of heavy maintenance that she's having.

In other news, I was in the right place at the right time to observe 27200 arrive at Grimsby depot at roughly 13:30 today. She's showing as having come straight from service in Hull, partway through a running board, which would suggest either a loan, transfer or passing through on the way to somewhere else.

It is its first day tracking but it has definitely been out before today as saw a picture the other day on Facebook of it on the 2.
I wonder why these ETMs seem to take a few days to start tracking for new transfers

Heres 19626 anywho, on 111 to Beverley

Started tracking in Grimsby now

I think it must be something to do with the internal system require it to be moved from other operating company to other which must take time for it to update. As normally when you have funny tracking you never yet buses from other areas of Stagecoach tracking on East Midlands routes.

In Grimsby unsure if its transfer, a loan or a pitstop to go to other depot.

I would guess its a loan or maybe a repaint float or something

Maybe sent to you guys for a repaint?
Does seem a bit strange for it to go to Grimsby when only the other week Hull brought 22639 back which suggested at the time they needed another single decker.

On the topic of repaints I would expect 19632 will be repainted before it enters service as it currently has a local livery lower panel on the back.
