This thread will keep Kuyoyo busy for another 11 months yet! Plenty of time for more discussion.

For the grown ups amongst us that *are* interested (italics or not); uk-buses quotes 10552-5 as SN16 ONU-X...... logically enough.

And for those who may have a poiint about the length when including the full orders list, I have cropped this message to just include registered buses.

I have to apologise here, my "out of hand" post was intended for another forum I had opened on another tab on my browser, I appear to have gotten them mixed up when posting.

Once again I sincerley apologise for my silly mistake.

(19 May 2016, 7:42 pm)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]SN16 OTS has been delivered to Manchester's Hyde Road depot today. Local reports suggest it will be numbered 10579 (not yet worn), and will be allocated to Ashton.

(20 May 2016, 7:53 pm)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]I understand SN16 OTS should actually become 10578. Although full details aren't clear, it looks like Ashton are to receive a large number of the order, with the remainder split between Hyde Road and Stockport.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the East Lancs Road, Gillmoss now have 10567/9 (SN16 OTC/E) in service, so presumably 10568 will be 'OTD, and then its any eight from 12 ('F-P/R) for the rest of the batch. Still no news on exact allocations, registrations or deliveries for Cumbria & North Lancashire's Dozen, though.

(25 May 2016, 6:46 pm)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]I think there is some confusion over the registrations for Manchester's latest batch - over and above a late change in plans regarding the allocations! 10578/9/80 are SN16 OTS/U/V, not as listed above. Additionally, that list would mean 'OTY being 10584. However, at virtually the same time as this sighting of the bus still at the factory, "10584" was reported in service on the Wilmslow Road corridor.

(29 May 2016, 11:29 am)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]A further update. The person reporting 10584 in service has since corrected their report. The sighting was 10582. This was on the 201 service yesterday evening (the first sighting of a '16 reg away from Wilmslow Road corridor services), and I can confirm it is registered SN16 OTX (not 'OTV which is 10580). It now seems certain that the ones used at Hyde Road (10578/80/2) are only on loan, whilst some of their own buses are at Wentworth, Exeter and will then be needed for the Parklife festival on 11/12th June. They will then become Ashton buses, where its reported they are intended to run 216 (in competition with Metrolink) and 330 (Ashton-Hyde-Stockport) which overall will require around 20 buses. 10579 is the only other of the batch confirmed delivered, but it is believed at least 4 more were due this weekend.
