E400MMCs are allocated to 62/63 as normal, but Slatyford also put theirs also on Fastlines, 10/11 and 30/31/36 occasionally when E200MMCs have been allocated elsewhere.
The E200MMCs and ex-Shields E200 also see use on 71/72/87s on a Sunday.

There is one of the older 400's on the 1 today, its past my work several times and there is something serious wrong with it.
Best way to describe the engine, it sounds like someone has fitted a turbo to the engine, each gear change is giving out a very loud air sound. Never heard anything like it before, I assumed it was some idiot in a modified car, but just looked out to see a bus!

It's always been a bit of a dog 19442, it's been crying out for a repaint for an age too - what must be the final E400 not repainted since the Megabus stickers were removed from the rear 'swoop'.
Looks as though 10631, 10640, 10653 and 10654 (and possibly 10635) have gone for a little holiday in the Deep South, helping out at the Cheltenham Gold Cup Festival.
Why take Newcastle's best buses. I'd make them take 57 plate Enviro 400s.

They had three of them last year, when they were even newer and shinier!
I must admit that, in contrast to previous years when there's been quite mix of vehicles used, and quite often quite few older ones, this year has seen pretty much E400s and E400MMCs across the board, with a very small handful of Tridents, most of which were dragged out of the Spares Dump at the back of Stroud.

Wasn't that when a couple of them had a windscreen smashed.
Teesside's 22026 is on the 10/11, leaving Newcastle towards Kenton

10635 now confirmed as also being at Cheltenham, although on the day I made my observations it was lurking at the very back of Cheltenham garage suffering from some radiator problems, and was therefore not identifiable at the time.
