By April most of the electrics for the Bee Network should be in service
They are for Mansfield I think to replace 10042-45 which have returned to Manchester
I thought the old E400's were leaving Manchester seems strange to send some back

What MMCs that are not under Bee Network currently will remain in Manchester after January?

All the remaining 24 plates, and 64/15/65/16/17 plates at Stockport. 20 plates at Stockport are not staying in Manchester.
A number of B9 withdrawals over the last few Scanias means 15398/16818/16830/16837/16848 are the latest to go into storage.
Queens Road due some more MMCs from Oldham very soon which will continue the fleet modernisation there.

One thing I find interesting is the seats on the 69/20 plates in Bee Network spec are still in Stagecoach spec, are there any plans to re trim them with the standard TfGM moquette?

They’ve had a half refurb with new flooring (20 plates) and yellow painted bars (both) - not sure there are plans for a seat retrim yet.

15400 was withdrawn yesterday and shouldn’t see use again at Queens, but 15393 was withdrawn over weekend then pressed back into service on Monday.
5 MMC’s have moved from Oldham this week with a sixth expected tonight or tomorrow.

With 23/35 Enviro 400EVs out in service today - it won’t be much longer before even more move over!

Yes exactly like this would guess the seats will get done at a different time.

sadly they are not in the best condition and are dogged with electrical issues.

Which? The MMCs or the new EVs?

No, contrary to what an account on Twitter posts repeatedly, they're leaving.

11504, 11510/11/12 have all today moved over to Queens road from Oldham.
16827 and 15398 have transferred to Metroline and are in storage at one of their storage sites.
All being well the remaining scania’s will be withdrawn and moved over to Metroline by end of next week.

16830 appears to have been reinstated, on it currently on the 97.

It was never withdrawn! All the B9’s @Class 466 has listed are still queens road buses. Non are on the list of 15 going *yet*!
16827 moved over to Metroline on Thursday along with 15398, 16811 and 16814 moved over on Friday along with 15400 and 15396.
With the arrival of 11825/26/27 the remaining 4 ‘active’ Scania’s have tonight been withdrawn meaning the brief use of the Scania’s at Queens road has come to an end and the remaining 6 at Queens should pass to Metroline at some point next week.

In fairness to xitz, class466s post stated it *was* withdrawn...

That’s why I referred to @Class 466 as being incorrect with the B9’s listed as withdrawn and in storage.
16806 is at Hyde road for training.
16811, 16814 and 16827 are in storage withdrawn.
16838 is withdrawn with engine failure.
