50403 YX18 KLM
50404 YX18 KLN
50405 YX18 KLO
And now to explain the previously mentioned fleet numbering:
As you can see, the 'Pronto' E400MMCs finish at 10981. The 10xxx series will be finished before this year's order of E400MMCs is completed. However, it has been decided to number the 'Smart Hybrid' examples for London in the 110xx series rather than carrying on with the 12xxx series. As such, this means that once the 10xxx series is full, standard E400MMCs will be numbered 111xx onwards.

Any details on where the buses are going?
(30 Jun 2018, 3:23 pm)Tamesider wrote [ -> ]GMCA papers on their website for presentation to the Bus sub-committee this coming Friday quote "Minimal investment is expected in 2018/9 from the three major operators". This must be a worry, given that the average age has deteriorated badly during 2017/8 and the BBC have stepped up their propoganda war against Buses in GM by grossly twisting IPPR North reports.

It looks like M&SL are taking advantage of the school hols to cascade E300s out before these MMCs arrive as replacements - suggesting the MMCs will arrive soon.

Chesterfield's 8 are supposedly due during September. At which point, their current 'Gold' Scania E400s will move onto the 50/50a/50b releasing standard-spec examples to work Chesterfield's share of the 77.
As for Gillmoss, they have taken a large number of deckers from other part of the empire - 14 Scania E400s displaced from South by the new E400MMCs on Coastliner, along with 8 of the former Wigan B9TLs (the only one missing is MX07BVF which is now with Tylers) which are temporarily in use at Gillmoss before moving to Chester (likely once the new MMCs arrive). On the Period 3 fleetcard, their E300 allocation has been reduced by 18 (from 65 down to 47) so that reduction is in line with the recent influx of deckers not ahead of the MMCs arriving.
(23 Aug 2018, 9:18 am)Kuyoyo wrote [ -> ]Well, the first of Gillmoss' E400MMCs have been delivered - 11101, although it seems a mistake has been made when putting the vinyls on as the number applied is 10111, already used for a London E400.
