Hello all,
The nine Enviro200s that aren't going to Yorkshire are going to TGM for Route E10 (Northolt - Ealing Broadway). Registrations and Fleet Numbers are as follows:
3425-33 YX14RYO/P/R/T/U/V/W/Y/Z
Information courtesy of Ian Rivett's 'Bus News' publication.
Also, full list of registrations for the Yorkshire batch, courtesy of Bus Lists on the Web:
1001-31 YY14LFM/N/O/P/R/S/T/U/V/W/X/Z, LGA/C/D/E/F/G/J/K/L/N/O/U/V/W/X/Z, LHA/B/C
Ave updated the top post with all of the latest information known, including the start of the deliveries of E400s for Wales.
Also, Derby are now said to be getting 7 E400s so someone else must have one less on order, possibly one of the other Midlands depots.
I've heard that the E400 order for Southport has been decreased from 9 to 8 so that could be why Derby are due 7 E400s instead of 6.
The registrations of the Rhyl Enviro400s are as follows:
4536 CX14 BXV
4537 CX14 BXW
4538 CX14 BXY
4539 CX14 BXZ
4540 CX14 BYA
4541 CX14 BXD
4542 CX14 BXE
4543 CX14 BXF
4544 CX14 BXG
4545 CX14 BXH
4546 CX14 BXJ
4547 CX14 BXK
4548 CX14 BXL
4549 CX14 BXM
4550 CX14 BXN
4551 CX14 AZG
4552 CX14 AZJ
4553 CX14 AZL
4554 CX14 AZN
4555 CX14 AZO
Thanks to Smithy from the Merseyside Dennis Dart Website for this information.
All of the Enviro 400's for Rhyl are now believed to have been delivered so we should start seeing E400's for other depots being delivered very soon! Talking of deliveries, the first Streetlite has been spotted at Heysham on Friday, numbered 3651 which should make it one for Arriva Shires.
Just out of curiosity, with the Micro Hybrid Streetlites, will that then mean that there will be Rechargeable Sensors put into the Road for where it stops for example at Haymarket Bus Station and in Blyth on the 306, Similar to the examples used with Arriva The Shires and Essex.

Oh dear, if they are, i can see nothing but problems!
Micro Hybrid means they use a flywheel in the drive system which recovers the energy that's usually wasted when braking. This energy is then used to run auxiliary systems such as interior lighting, therefore there's less fuel being used to run these systems and thus improving the fuel economy. The Micro Hybrid StreetLites also look just like any other StreetLite.

So it's going to be a few more months until any Sapphire services are going to be launched in the North East?

No the Ashington one should be very soon! I believe they should be next in line for deliveries, followed by Tamworth.

When can they expect deliveries of their new E400's, in the coming weeks?

Presuming ADL are on track (I am guessing they are!) then we should be receiving 4 this week followed by 3 next week! Rhyl's launch is on Thursday followed by the buses entering service from Sunday. I'm lead to believe Bolton's launch event is this week too (Friday I believe).

Might have a trip across
, any idea if they will be stored at the depot or at Thorntons with the refurbished examples?

Is the order for Bolton shown on the first post of this thread as I can't see it mentioned anywhere?

Not sure, I would assume Thorntons as I am not sure how much space Ashington has spare. I know Rhyl have been using a local coach company (Alpine) to store some of theirs.

Bolton are getting all existing Pulsars refurbished rather than new stock... They have been done in house at St Helens' refurbishment centre.

Any information on which service(s) they will be used on?

They'll be used on services 362 (Chorley - Wigan) and 575 (Wigan - Bolton) - 15 Pulsars have been done in total I understand. Launch event in Wigan on Friday 4th July.
So is it about August/September when the Streetlites are expected to be delivered?
