Stagecoach East Midlands - Timetables, Services, & Wider Operations

[Boothby97]

Not yet tracking, but 19195 transferred to Grimsby earlier this week and has been in service.

Lots of the Ex-Scotland E400mmcs at Grimsby how now been fitted with Next Stop Announcements. Think one or to of the Interconnect E400mmcs have too

All of the IC MMCs and iirc all but one of the ex Scotland MMCs at Grimsby have been fitted, some aren’t turned on yet though.

Anyone notice if any more of the remaining hull/grimsby swaps have taken place this weekend

 

[Thomas04]

16965 Splash the Seasider has Lost its hoover. Work must have taken place to make the loud bus now quiet

19233 is currently in service at Grimsby, 19239 and 19240 are currently not in service as its Sunday and were likely not needed, so we'll see tomorrow.
27203, 27789 and 27881 weren't in service for Hull either tho on Sundays we usually just put our E400MMCs and the odd E400 and MAN out anyway so

saw that a 400EV Was in hull aswell earlier in the week don’t know if it is still there

 

[trawler]

The EV bus was at the Let's Go Electric event at Priory Park. We had a few hundred people attending.

 

[Zenneth101]

Hey guys so I got some pics to show you guys.

First: 10742 has new NSA screens and working announcements and says "please wait till the bus has come to a complete stop" now (I'm assuming its because a lot of ppl seem to make a dash while the bus is moving and end up flying down the bus and complaining).

Second: 10735 with the Andy's Man Club advert.

Third: The new merkur advert applied to 19146 (its on others too, even 19377).

Fourth: 26266 is at Lincoln

All pics are my own except 26266 which is my friend Dunbars123 who lives in Lincoln's picture.

Someone I know mentioned to me that an announcement said Stop Acknowledgement the other day on the route 4 to Morrisons. Not sure what bus it was though

 

[ChappersNUFC]

19521 in service at Grimsby

 

[Zenneth101]

Now that makes sense, 26266 must have swapped with 19521 then

I wonder if their newest buses that have the next stop announcement systems built in can be programmed with the please remain seated instruction when the buzzer is pressed?

Suppose that would be a good idea it would save passenger injury massively

People wouldn’t listen anyway

 

[Thomas04]

Yeah suppose so.
26273 Has been repainted into the “We’ve got you” livery

 

[Zenneth101]

22800 is back in use at Hull after a month (no idea if its been repainted or whether it was repair). 22799 and 24194 are the latest two to be out for unknown reasons (tho 22799 kinda needs a repaint considering it hasn't had any brand change in 10 years now).

Must have been for repair as it’s still in local when I saw it being driven back to the depot by an engineer after having an issue on the 11.

I would be surprise to see any FX09s get repainted as I would say they are on borrowed time as they are like 16 years old and most haven’t been converted to Euro 6 unlike the FX10s and generally across Stagecoach the MANs are slowly being withdrawn like at Yorkshire and Cumbria.

Oh interesting, tho 24163 (whos also 16) and 24196 (whos 15) were "We've got you"ed tho they are cummins Euro 6 lol. I think Hull are focusing on repainting E400MMCs (especially 73 plates as they don't need much inside work).

 

[Fox192]

Is 19175 for repaint or broken

 

[Thomas04]

19521 in service at Grimsby

It has gone back to lincoln now

 

[jimbob185]

I have seen today that 10740 has gained a rear advert for Andy’s Man Club like 10735.

 

[Fox192]

Be good if they did full body adverts like some of the Manchester examples, would be more noticeable and interesting

 

[Zenneth101]

As its a 2007 E400, its very unlikely to be a repaint.. tho same could be said about repair. I personally think its another quiet withdrawal like 22755 and 22760

Interesting, guess that's gonna be my next target!

Yeah true, like was it choc squares or something last time on ALX400 loads of years ago in Hull, we've not had any since 19691 and 19692 which had the Hull brands, and 19684 with Hull City

 

[Fox192]

Is the remaining 3 bus swaps between hull and Grimsby still happening, seems to be taking a while from when it was going to happen

I would imagine with the Armed Forces Weekend happening in Cleethorpes at present, Grimsby need the extra capacity so it won't happen this weekend. Grimsby have a variety of deckers on loan from Hull, Gainsborough and Scunthorpe for the X20/3A Park and Ride services. To be specific, vehicles are:

Hull: 11689/93/95/762/63
Gainsborough: 11732/4/6
Scunthorpe: 19564

 

[Zenneth101]

I have a feeling they'd started to swap, then realised about the thing and decided to delay the transfers until after this Armed Forces Weekend thing
Also 11763 is still at Hull

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 28 Jun 2025 ==

Evidence that 11763 is still at Hull.

Apparently arriving later after service in Hull to help with the peak rush of P&R services, which continue until 00:00

 

[ChappersNUFC]

27881 in service at Grimsby
19234 in service at Hull

 

[Fox192]

19234 been in hull couple weeks now

 

[Zenneth101]

19233 in, 27881 out!

now its just 19239 for 27203 (guess) and 19240 for 27789 (guess).

Some news for you guys

First off, 22772 and 22799 have been withdrawn quietly (my friend who knows ppl at the depot aswell as being a big fan of MANs told me on yt).
21259 at Grimsby has too.
10039 is now in service at Lincoln.
At Hull, possibly as cover for 22772/99, 27201 has transferred in from Scunthorpe unannounced (I'll let you guys point out the hypocrisy seeing as we are about to send 2 E300s to Grimsby).
Also, 10736 has been repainted into We've got you livery.
10745 is finally back in service.

I think thats about it for now.

 

[Fox192]

Would be nice if 10039 came to hull
