Has anyone else noticed that for Hull's 4, the 05:50 to Hull on weekdays which used to form H1001 running board now forms H0504 running board?

Is this a possible indication to the 4 getting EVs on it (weekdays anyway) seeing as the 5 is to get Enviro 400EVs, and on the ZEBRA2 funding so was the 6, which during the day interworks with the 4 on weekdays.

Furthermore, the 4 on evenings has H01 and H07 running boards which are (possibly) to gain Yutong E10s so I'm wondering if Hull's 4 on weekdays is going to become EV (weekends not included as the 4 interworks with the 15 again).

The 05:50 change is especially suspicious because the H05 running boards only worked with the 3 before which is another future E400EV route, why is there now a random early 4 turning into daytime 5s?

I don't remember seeing the 4 on the ZEBRA or any EV material but it may be a silent victim, or I'm totally misreading all this and theres a simple explanation whatever that may be.

Just had a rota change and that can sometimes change some morning and evening allocations so shifts line up etc

Also 0401 card would have been changed going off your idea as that does last 350 and still currently does

Every rota change also meets some boards move around so you get odd things like a 5 board starting on 4's etc

Happens at most big operators and a lot of depots

Seems bustimes is having another malfunction today

Apparently Lincoln's L101 card first trip to Grantham had several Hull Buses
11696, 36451, 26172, 22274, 10739 and 19633 in that order

All are tracking at Hull bar 26172 which I believe is currently off for repairs and has been over a week

19527 is repainted (I rlly did predict what would it look like except the interior refurb)

Our first ISC engined E400 to be repainted

19541 has been repainted as well as it has just had a new logbook issued and it is showing as blue on the vehicle enquiry website

Nice is it going back to Hull or is it having a few days here in Grimsby?

It’s been hull for a while

 

[Patsbuses160]

Oh ok it may have a mistrack or something.

 

[Zenneth101]

Yeah was a mistrack, however it will probably end up moving away when EVs come

Bet it looks like this

19541s back in service but I’m so sorry to say it was not repainted

 

[Zenneth101]

For Bransholme residents/people who want 19527; it is now out in service on the 7/7C/8/8C (the sporadic routes). Board: H0711.

(edit was cos I forgot 8C)

19541 is tracking as back out as well but hasn’t been repainted so strange why it’s colour has been changed on vehicle enquiry.

I don’t think 24135s gonna make it to MANsfield

Also, how come 24135/161-64 aren’t replacing 28616-20, and 24183/186-188/205 aren’t replacing 27184-86/98/99?

Cool my guess is for storage and comes back to Skegness for searider season next month.

Saw 12047 'Candy' heading through town in that general direction too.

In other news locally, only 3 of the older Enviro 400s have been in service regularly this week, 19114, 115 and 126. Catch them while you can!

19383/93/19195/97/98/19206/07/210/19533 plus 19114/115/126 have all been in regular service this week. These and 8 of the Volvos have got a good few months left yet.

As the buses neeeding to be swapped have been it was always the case that only the amount swapped was going to be swapped

As far as I'm aware 24135 is or was awaiting a engine hence why it's not been out for months

 

[Zenneth101]

I think its pretty optimistic of Stagecoach to still think a new engine will do the job when historically, 22758s engine transplant ended up in disaster and a number of others were unable to recover, same with the disappearing 19638. Even 19639 altho successful had a lot of hitches and took well over a year to do

 

[BusPerson2025]

19541 is in service (maybe following a repaint)

 

[Zenneth101]

I shall find that last bit out shortly and feed back

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 27 Feb 2026 ==

Turns out its not repainted its still in Local

Although it now sounds veryyyyy weird, like a Trident now.

 

[Patsbuses160]

Does anyone know what happened to 19017 (MX06XAS)?

 

[jimbob185]

19541 is in service (maybe following a repaint)

I said yesterday that it was back out in service and hasn’t had a repaint

Another one that's had a new engine or gearbox as far as I am aware

and all the standard E400's should would like tridents as they are badged as Trident 2's and basically same running gear

Probably been withdrawn. It was the oldest E400 in the area

 

[Patsbuses160]

First was 19007 back in October 2025.

19007 has definetly been withdrawn as it hasnt ran in months
