Speaking of Kinchbus it looks like the yutongs may be in the paint shop so when they arrive in January Trent will be getting back 714 715 716 740 and 175

Is it been confirmed as January?

That's 815 and it has leaked since it was orange

Routine on returning to depot is close windows on lost property/ vehicle check and whoever puts them in the wash double checks too, this has been me hundreds of times!

What’s the deal with 750 on comet it has been off the road since 7th September the comet doesn’t seem to be doing well it’s always spares on

Should be back within the next few weeks, it has had large problems with its' engine and its' MOT is also due soon so it may return after that unless it gets fully repaired before the end of November.
- Spoke too soon, turns out it's come back today (if tracking ain't lying that is)!

Is that Euro6 compliant?
Also does that make it 3 orange solos at TM Travel now? Sure they already had 2 there 488 springs to mind as 1 of them and 490 possibly the other all they need is 489 and will have a set

Regarding deckers are remaining lothians due to be painted and are any more due at TM Travel to replace the 2 Scania Deckers?

No it's not Eu6 compliant - or it wasn't a few weeks ago anyway.

487 is seemingly not compliant for Sheffield, but seems to be seeing use in the Halfway area. I'd say just one Solo at TM Travel in orange. I presume Versa 835 is the only other bus in orange. 488 to 490 were still in that old Amber line livery (more beige) . One has a blown engine.

Sure there was still 2 left unless that Arriva e400 replaced it or the duel door E400 TM have

The only one I recall is 1174.. 1173 is with Notts and Derby and 1175 was last seen months ago, being towed into Littles. Suspect it was recovered from Birmingham Bus Works. I know they had red Enviro 400, f/no 1400. Any others?

 

[adrianjohnson]

A couple of the Enviros refurbished for the Two were in Ilkeston Market Place today. I wasn't there, though there are some photos on Facebook of them among the crowds (it was a Halloween even in the Market Place).

LK58 KHG is Notts and Derby 13, another Enviro 400.

Interesting as 1157 was on 252 on Friday morning (it did the 9:36am from Sheffield Centre)
