As posted on other Facebook groups, a total of 7 Enviros have arrived from the East Scotland fleet, and they are:
Enviro200MMCs 26114 (YY18 TEU) from Arbroath and 26115 (YY18 TEV) from St Andrews
Enviro300s 27122-4 (SL14 LTJ/K/L) from Dunfermline, 27140 (SN64 OGD) from Glenrothes and 27610 (SP59 CTZ) from Blairgowrie
26114/5 and 27123 are presently parked at Slatyford while the rest are at their intended temporary home of Walkergate depot.
Of these, only 27122 is painted in the current ‘Local’ livery, the rest are in swoops - 27124 retains ‘ Letham & Tulloch loop’ branding from its days allocated to Perth depot while 27140 has ‘ Connecting Kirkcaldy & Glenrothes’ branding.

Commonwealth Games cover would be more than likely given the event is due to start in a few weeks time and a lot of Double-Deckers will be required.

(12 Jul 2022, 8:59 am)Dan Yes, until next March. Their contract for the 319 has also just been renewed for a year from 24 July.

(12 Jul 2022, 2:48 pm)OrangeArrow49 Does Stagecoach have the contracts permanently for the 939 and 991?
Are they likely to keep the 18, 32/32A, 35, and 317 in the long term?
Is there anywhere to find out who has all the contracts from 24th July?
(12 Jul 2022, 2:50 pm)Dan They come out to tender every year.

(12 Jul 2022, 3:04 pm)OrangeArrow49 Of course, I know that, just surprising that Stagecoach kept all of their own services (and gained the 32A in full off Gateshead Central Taxis) whereas Go North East and Gateshead Central Taxis didn't seem to get as much support. Positive to see Nexus supporting Go North East with the QA/QB and the 41.
Many people would say the 18, 32/32A, 35 and 317 are best with Stagecoach in terms of territory and tickets etc, I'd say the 35 and 317 could be Arriva. A bit of competition is always good too.
Are the A-Line services like the 92, 792, 941 etc up for renewal this month or in September? Go North East have been awarded one 941 trip and the 392 from Henry Cooper from 24th July. Fingers crossed Henry Cooper get some work.

(12 Jul 2022, 3:58 pm)Dan It has nothing to do with 'support' - it's purely about who provides the cheapest price.
