Notice 10734 is tracking in Skegness. Wonder if it’s a transfer or just covering

Been in Skegness for East Coast pride over the weekend and just hasn’t returned yet.

My mate with contacts said that a Skegness DT whatever that is has said 10734 is a permanent transfer.

19126 seems to have transferred to Grimsby anyone know if it’s permanent or not?
It's on loan due to a pride event apparently
Permanent, reactivated to help with school contracts

Possibly trying to put all the MAN E300s in one depot?
So will any of the old buildings survive?

37465 by the looks of it might be a repair as it did the 1 on the 17th and then mysteriously disappeared at 9am
Either that or repaint, I doubt Hull needs another E200MMC

It is withdrawn and MOT expired so based off of history (22544/635) its likely just a spare or disposal deal, nothing overly exciting.

Also heard yesterday 22758 looks like been scrapped
Yes, even though the building was described as "dilapidated", if you compare it to how it currently looks and the plan, they look completely different. Mansfield has said it will be partly demolished to "bring it into the 21st century." Therefore, there will be old buildings that will survive.
It perhaps depends on how “honest” the artists impression is, since on that everything moves around the site and it’s in new buildings. At present the frontage houses the offices etc. and those are shown at the top end, at right angles to now. The rest of the current frontage is replaced by open parking behind a wall/fence, so that really just leaves some retaining walls….. Then again, if you look at the parking bays and charging points then some bays have two cp‘s and others none, so there may be some artistic licence in play. Personally, I rather like the current frontage and don’t really think that an open yard behind a wall/fence advertises the company well. This is after all a location on a busy main road close to the town centre. Then again, perhaps I’m just a traditionalist and prefer a depot to a yard - I just think it looks more professional.

Did you see 19531 in there? Not been out in a while

The only identifiable one was this, although even then the fleet number isn't visible, it's just the only one of the batch liable to be in bits!
19531 may be there but not in sight.

37465 is currently at Hull for MOT, of which it failed due to a form of damage or leak (its on Government MOT check website). Its at Hull likely to get fixed and have a PASS MOT as it will run out on 11th October.
Any Lincoln fans or people reading, 37465 will likely be out for a bit due to this.

Are 19106-107 Still Replacing the Geminis for next Season?

The current buildings are c.90 years old. Also, you are talking about a cost of £5/ft for every bit of depot building you have in terms of business rates and utilities so it's no surprise that operators prefer open parking. Even more so when then considering charging infrastructure.

At this rate the Geminis are gonna get frostbite, so probably

On the Hull side, history has been made with 26172 replacing 26255 today on the 4/6 however on H0404 diagram instead of H0401 (24192 did that today). I am very happy Stagecoach did that its a rare W for them
It's prob more likely 26172 developed a fault this morning so 26255 being a 350 bus went on 350's
26172 when fixed just got used on anything that needed covering hence locals on 4/6
Prob same reason 26173 ended up on 111 apparently yesterday
A mate of mine (ex colleague) works there and said that's what happened
