now that I've discovered the deliveries for 2023 E400MMCs and finding the disappointingly low number of only 11 new buses for north east I'm looking at where potential cascades could come from.
I'm surprised at chichester in stagecoach south getting allocated 22 new buses as i think they only have 22 double decks in there fleet, the newest of which are 69 plate 400 MMCs,i find it surprising one depot is getting its entire double decker fleet renewed in a single delivery, This could be down to nearby Portsmouth getting its own CAZ, and with stagecoach south having a lot of ALX400s, i can understand the necessity of replacing them even if they are very rural most of the time and passenger loadings only tend to be busy when the trains are off.

(05 Feb 2023, 8:44 pm)Michael Hoping for something else, but you're probs right as they already have them elsewhere in the fleet.

(06 Feb 2023, 11:41 am)Michael What was on the picture?In order:
I was on 28022 this morning and the dashboard was all lit up, saying the engine was bust.
I remember someone mentioning it the other day too.
Edit:
Wonder what fleet nunber they'll take? 28041+
Don't really know the full Stagecoach fleet so not sure what numbers are free.

Not telling, cos it's fun watching the speculation (and also I don't want to look like a moron if they've changed their minds)
When it says "Engine Malfunction" it generally means it's gone into limp mode at some point (some of them keep going into limp mode until the engine warms up then it's fine, although I've had a couple do it seemingly because of high revs. 005 did it to me on the Felling Bypass for seemingly no reason whilst I had about 50 people on, which wasn't terrifying at all) - I've had it clear itself before (although I was often turning the engine off cos of standing time). I've noticed little change in performance (although it seems to limit the kickdown on some).
They seem to be using the 29100-999 and 30000-999 ranges for EVs (29020-022 are E350Hs - presumably Hybrids). From Bustimes, the EVs elsewhere are numbered as follows:
29101-109; Guildford P&R 200EVs
29110-118; Perth 200EVs
29201-205; London 200EVs
29301-306; West Scotland 7900Es
30001-017; West Scotland 200EVs
30101-125; Inverness Yutongs
So based on that, I can see our's going in the 29400 or 30200 range.
28000 range is exclusively our gasbuses. The next one numerically after 28040 is 28602, which is a diesel Scania E300 - it looks identical to our's, just without the gas tank on top. That range continues 28748.
There was also a 28601 which seems to have suffered an accident at some point - 28xxx has been used twice in total for Scanias including the current gas (280xx) and diesel (286xx/287xx) series.
Also, 30016/17 are with East Midlands at Mansfield not West Scotland (with '16 off the road currently with fire damage)

It may have peaked some interest, Enviro 350 Hybrids 29001-19 have become available ...
