All the pictures above were taken from the main road
Makes me wonder of the E200MMC's transferring from First will be 2000-2015??? Assuming the previously mentioned figure of 16 is correct.....
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! The fleet numbers seem a little random, are the E400s here to stay rather than loaned like the GSC buses?
ReplyDeleteI must admit the fleet numbers do seem odd - especially the 5000s for double deckers.
DeleteThey have been purchased to my knowledge, same with E54 so I'd assume they are here to stay. They're Euro 6 too which is a bonus!
DeleteAny idea if the Stagecoach London E400s will be reupholstered or enter service with the Stagecoach upholstery?
ReplyDeleteassuming they are in fairly good condition I would imagine they wont be refurbished fully just yet -bearing in mind they only have two weeks and a lot of buses to prep. At some stage though I would expect them to be refurbished and single doored so may get standard seating then
DeleteEast Yorkshire Fleet update...
ReplyDeleteThe first 5 Plaxton President bodied Volvo B7TL's have today transfered to Plymouth Citybus ahead of their transfer to the new Cornwall operation.
The vehicle's transfered Sunday 15 March are 669, 670, 671, 673 & 677.
With the requirement and I imagine enormous cost of the loan vehicles for the launch of Cornwall services, why did PCB go ahead with the disposal of the ex Brighton deckers? Surely they would have been beneficial in covering 4-6 contract compliant vehicles from the Plymouth network that could have gone to Cornwall?
ReplyDeleteThose deckers were falling apart. Failing each and every day, I believe only two actually remained in service to the end that's out of eight of them.
DeleteEven then they had already been disposed of before the service change.
They were extremely unreliable and to be honest probably better off getting rid of them as always causing breakdowns
