Did a bit of digging and there is some changes coming up, which apparently see the S4 and 500 interwork, thus needing an additional vehicle, and with Stagecoach not friends with Scania at present, an E200MMC was ordered instead.

(12 Dec 2016, 9:27 pm)conzog wrote [ -> ]Oxford's Gold E400 MMCs are currently in the process of being delivered.

The registrations are SN66 VZA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J/K.

10779-83 were delivered last week, I believe 84 was delivered today and 85-88 are due by the end of the week.

As far as I understand, they are going to upgrade the Wantage to Oxford routes though this is yet to be confirmed by Stagecoach.
