(04 Nov 2016, 7:56 pm)Dans_bus_photos Yeah looks like it. Didn't realise they were pulling the other E300s off the 100.
(04 Nov 2016, 9:10 pm)RBZ 5459 Good luck Stockton...
The MANviro have had the full works done to their interior too. Hopefully they prove reliable...

(04 Nov 2016, 9:24 pm)Dans_bus_photos Is that a hint that 27506-10 are moving to Stockton?
(04 Nov 2016, 9:34 pm)RBZ 5459 Nothing concrete received myself, but suggestion is that's the case to replace their older MANs.
They could have done with being shifted out the Group if I'm honest. Good for capacity if nothing else.

(04 Nov 2016, 9:46 pm)Dans_bus_photos Id have probably kept them at Slatyford if I'm honest and put them on the X87/X88s along with the E400s. I know there not the most reliable at the minute as they seem to be frequently off the road but atleast Slatyford's engineers are familiar with them and their faults.

Preparations For Adverse Winter Weather
04 Nov 2016
Dear Customer,
Whilst our dedicated teams of skilled drivers and control room staff will endeavour to operate all buses on time and to all
destinations, it is nonetheless likely that some buses may be delayed as a result of slow-moving traffic and general road
conditions, and some journeys may be required to terminate before their normal end points.
To ensure safety is maintained, some buses might be unable to use some estate roads if conditions are especially poor. If this does occur, customers are recommended to use the nearest bus stops on the main road.
All customers should allow for extra time in their journeys during this time.
Working with our colleagues from the local authority, we will endeavour to keep any disruption to a minimum. However, we would like to apologise for any problems that may be experienced whilst travelling at this time.
Safety remains our absolute priority, and we will continue to assess road conditions to ensure the safety of our passengers, staff and other road users.
Thank you for your patience.
