Will either be a poppy or pride livery

Would have thought pride. As Stagecoach wants to increase the number of pride livery’s in Fleets

IIRC the now-removed post from a few days ago said not pride.
Presumably some kind of armed forces/poppy livery, as it's Cleethorpes Armed Forces weekend in two weeks from now.
In other news Grimsby is Stagecoach's UK bus depot of the year according to a banner outside the depot (pictured below).
Very well done to the team there!

Apologises to mods if this counts as mini modding, thats not my intention!

Very much doubt it. We had some about 2-3 years back
Drivers can join Grimsby in less than 2-3 years mate.

Temporary Park & Ride will be in operation in Cleethorpes this weekend for Armed Forces Day, could this possibly require different buses from other places in the SCEM fleet?

Last week I was staying in the village of Outwell in Norfolk, just over the border from Cambridgeshire. Stagecoach East Midlands most southerly route, the hourly T7 running through the Fens from Wisbech to Chatteris runs through the village.
One day I decided to travel by bus to Ely. I boarded the T7 bus in Outwell, at just after 9.30am, for the hour long journey to Chatteris. I was the only passenger on the bus for whole journey. I returned on the 2.40pm bus from Chatteris, and except for one other person who just did a short journey between two villages, again I was the only passenger on the hour long journey. My observations from passing other T7 buses along the route was that they were more or less empty.
I have read this morning that the T7 bus route is currently under review with a big possibility that large parts of the route, especially the section through Norfolk will be withdrawn. It certainly ran through a very sparsely populated area and I found it difficult to understand why it ran hourly including well into the evening. From my experience of lack of passengers I can fully understand why Cambridgeshire are probably going to withdraw the route.
My observations were that the T7 isn’t advertised very clearly at local bus stops. Where it did pass through some larger, often widely spread out villages, there was a real lack of bus stops. The onward connections at Chatteris are appalling. Most hours the T7 arrives in Chatteris less than 5 minutes after the Dews Coaches buses to Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives and March have just departed. I was lucky that the Zip 2 to Ely was running a couple of minutes late and I was able to run to board it to avoid an hour long wait.

Stagecoach have announced that on Sunday that some bays at Hull interchange will be out of action. I think this is due to them making changes to the bays to allow the Enviro400EVs to fit better.

It does say "engineering works" which I would assume messing with the stands length and markings would probably classify as, however is 1 Sunday enough? Surely it would take more than a day depending how many engineers work on it of course
I would expect it would take more than one day as the other bays that are not out of action this time would need doing as well.
Probably will do the following Sunday, as they can’t really shut the whole station for a day

Could they theoretically redirect services on Sundays to Hull Truck as done after half 11pm on weekdays and Saturdays?
Edit: By Sundays I mean the next 2
Edit: By Sundays I mean the next 2
2 sundays stands 1-18 this sunday I believe then 18-37 the following sunday
This is so some stands are altered for Stagecoach E400electrics
