North East Buses

East Midlands is almost certainly Lincolnshire area to replace Tridents.

As for Yorkshire, I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't end up at one of the Sheffield depots to increase capacity there.

(13 Jun 2016, 5:38 pm)Kuyoyo wrote [ -> ]No - only Scania E400s, Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Geminis and Volvo B7TL/East Lancs Vykings.

This is beyond the registrations listed at the last update at the beginning of the month. Could anyone confirm if this is still in the series being delivered to Manchester?

Only the ones for Ashton have been - the Kendal and Lancaster ones are being delivered now then it is the summer shutdown at Alexander Dennis. We are looking at late August/early September for the North East examples.

(22 Jun 2016, 8:49 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote [ -> ]Yes I understand, Though it doesn't look like everything is being delivered in order.

It looks like they are being delivered before the Summer Shutdown, The E200MMCs could make it before the Shutdown too seem as though Chester's Batch have been delivered.

This message marked as "3 hours ago" didn't originally appear on my list. However, to clarify, Ashton have received 10578-97, with 11 more still expected (after the shutdown?) But as the Kendal/Lancaster ones are in the Lakes livery, it begs the question who is 'OVX for, never mind the others already mentioned. As an aside, I've heard that Yorkshire's will be built at Scarborough, so won't be affecting the delivery plans from Falkirk.

(29 Jun 2016, 8:11 pm)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]I think thus is correct as, apparently, the body numbers tie in with the second part of the Manchester order. However, there is little info on which ones have made it to Manchester, and certainly none are in service yet.

10598-608 have now appeared on the uk-buses site as at Ashton "depot". From information I have been given, 10598 (as SN16 OVX) is correct, but of the others;, some have not yet been delivered, whilst those that have (about six units) do not tie-up in terms of registration/fleet numbers/body numbers

Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC Euro6

10598-10630 (SN16 OVX/Y/Z, OWA/B/C/D/F/G/H/J/K/M/O/P/R/U/V/W/X/Z, OXA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J/K/L/M): Manchester


Funny that these should be updated now. 10607 has just been reported in service at AZ and confirmed as 'OWH. However, 10598 has been reported on a HE service and having originally been confirmed as wearing 'OVX, it was then suggested it should be O*U*X, only to be sighted wearing 'OUP !!! Meanwhile, 10609-13 are in service at HE.
