Stagecoach East Midlands - Timetables, Services, & Wider Operations

[RareApe]

Is there a special event occuring soon or a service uplift due to you know? Could be influx of newer deckers to mitigate the fact electrics won't be in service as early as hoped? Interesting either way

I don't believe there is any event or service uplift.

Cheltenham Festival is coming up this week which East Midlands normally send buses to.

Cheltenham Festival is coming up this week which East Midlands normally send buses to.

That makes sense, move the vehicles going to Cheltenham to the most southerly depot in the division and move them from there

Very interesting things are happening in Mansfield today: 4 new MMCs seen at the side of the depot and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter City 45 (Nottsbus On Demand livery) getting stripped at the back of the depot. Regarding the 4 MMCs, this is what I saw:

• "Eleven" themed MMC (Unknown reg, Maybe SN67 XAD)
• "Stagecoach, we've got you" (YX73 OXP)
• "Stagecoach, we've got you" (Unknown reg)
• "Stagecoach, we've got you" (SN66 VXR)

I did see on a document my friend gave me from a Facebook group based on Lincolnshire that 44027 (a Nottsbus On Demand minibus) was stored to be sold off, so that probably is what the Sprinter is.

Maybe theres going to be swaps between Mansfield and other depots like Enviro 400 Tridents for MMCs? Who knows!

I hear some buses in Hull may be going on loan to Mansfield for Cheltenham festival like last year

The Unknown reg is 10665 SN16 OZG and the Eleven branded one is SN67 XAD. They are going to Cheltenham to help out for the Cheltenham Festival.

I did wonder what that said; I caught a glimpse of the -2026 bit on a Grimsby Enviro 200MMC yesterday, but by the time I looked at it properly it had scrolled over to the "join our team" display.

I believe that stagecoach Hull start electric bus training tomorrow for drivers 2 hours per driver 1 hour on single and 1 hour on deckers and also believe that Mansfield depot work could be starting soon.

Any idea where the driver training will run?

Sorry do not know any more info just what a friend told me over the weekend on both accounts.

That's okay. thank you though

It was in the workshop a few days ago

I suspect it could be anywhere the instructors choose as long as each driver gets the allocated time for each bus type to let them get used to the camera mirrors and way electric buses handle

I have seen that SN26YCM and SN26YCS have both been registered as Multicoloured Enviro400EVs so I would expect both are part of the batch for Hull.

Something weird is going on with 11688 today, so first off it tracks on the 5... then it also tracks on 7/8 while also tracking on 5 keep in mind... then it got swapped on the 5 for 22778

I can confirm 11688 WAS on the 5, but I got no idea what was doing the 7/8 as 11688

 

[Patsbuses160]

Been past the depot bear in mind I was on the pavement and some pics I've zoomed in on my phone camera so here's updates of buses in Grimsby part 1.

My best guess would be 22757 as it is currently on the 3 diagram that 11688 was running today and 22757 hasn’t tracked yesterday or today. Looking at the 9:25 journey 11688 magical jumps to the depot which to me would suggest double tracking.

I saw an enviro 300 on the 3, 22757 is tracking as 11688

Spot on....I rode on the 3 today and the bus that was tracking as 11688 was indeed 22757. Going by how full it was, I wish it was a decker haha
