Stagecoach UK Fleet Reserves / Disposals
i think Cambridge has had some of its new electric decker's start to enter service, does anyone know what they are replacing there?
Manchester has started to receive some of its new buses at Hyde road, anyone know what they are replacing there?

(22 Jun 2023, 10:50 am)Storx In fairness they had a very hard life, the fact they actually work is quite impressive, the work they were typically on are much harder than anything down here. Arriva have wrecked numerous Enviro's on the X15/X18 in the same time which is similar work.

(22 Jun 2023, 5:34 pm)toward6931 to be honest I travelled on some of the scanias when they were at inverness back in 2017, im not sure which route it was, it went from inverness bus station out to Invergordon, it didn't feel a particularly hard run, a lot of it was like the central motorway in Newcastle

(22 Jun 2023, 6:14 pm)Storx There's three, one that goes via Dingwall, one via Evanton, then the express one which does roughly 15 miles non-stop all 60/70 mph.
https://bustimes.org/services/x25-alness...office#map - That one. Absolutely crippler when you put town buses on stuff like that designed to potter around housing estates. Ironically some of their sisters are on tonight which will no doubt end up here at some point.
Mind that said, they can keep the ex. Newcastle 57 Plate Enviro 400's on services daily from the Aviemore outstation and they do some right killers like the X37 - https://bustimes.org/services/x37-aviemo...r-park#map. Yet Newcastle can't keep them in service on the 22 so they must be doing something right. I'm always surprised how old the fleet is there and it always has been.

(25 Jun 2023, 12:36 pm)Kuyoyo The ex-Newcastle E400s haven’t got long left with Highlands - the first of their replacements, in the form of 17 E400MMCs, arrived at Inverness depot on Friday evening. Alongside 20 B8RLE/Evoras (16 12.8m and 4 10.8m) and 3 Scania Moni-People Explorers (for use on the Tain area schools) will see all classic-style Enviros in the Inverness/Aviemore/Tain area withdrawn as well as the 62 plate Volvo B13RTs at Tain. Tain will gain the 4 E200MMCs from Inverness for use on the 25/25A/X25 and these have been re-registered with X25xxx private registrations recently.

(25 Jun 2023, 5:20 pm)stagecoachbusdepot To be fair some of our native E300s are in a pretty poor state, travelled on a few of the orignal Es batch recently and they didn't sound too healthy, even driver was complaining about one of them having no power. Not sure if it's just the tracking as well but 27731 appears to have been off for nearly 3 months.
I know the gas buses get slated on here but a few of them I travelled on around the same time still seemed smooth and pretty 'new' looking inside.

(26 Jun 2023, 8:45 am)F114TML If it has the hot exhaust light on, you really start to feel it after a few weeks/months (36980 is notorious for it, last time I had it I couldn't get it above 25 past the eye infirmary on the 10, and many months ago I went up Greenbank Drive in it at about 8mph; most buses can at least get up to 15) - could be one of them. Equally, I had 27734 the other night on the 3s and 20s - horrifically slow, particularly uphill but seemed to get better after a while (no exhaust light), seems to be an outlier.
As for the gasbuses, some of them are starting to show their age but a lot of them are really good, very smooth and a fair few have a good bit of kick behind them.

Interesting to see that Stagecoach Highlands are getting 37 new buses due now to replace the remaining Enviro's they've got. Be interesting to see if the remainder of the Enviro 300's end up here. We've had the rest. There's another 10 in service up there excluding the 57 plates.
