It's not a transfer it's only a loan same as 1481.82.83 19 so as there will be eventually back at Durham

Stagecoach have begun a major renumbering exercise with its existing electric vehicles plus the examples due for delivery which have already been allocated fleet numbers. This is reportedly due to a lack of gaps within the present fleet numbering scheme and for the first time, sees the use of 7xxxx numbers.

The new scheme goes as followed:

Inverness-based Yutong E10 30101-25 are renumbered 63101-63125
West Scotland's BYD/E200evMMC 30001-15/33/34 are renumbered 64001-15/33/34
East Midlands' Nottinghamshire County Council-owned BYD/E200evMMC 30017 is renumbered 640017
East Scotland's BYD/E200evMMC 30018-32 are renumbered 64018-32
London's West Ham-based BYD/E200evMMC 29201-5 are renumbered 64201-5
West Scotland's on-delivered Volvo BZL/MCV 31001-25 are renumbered 66001-25 - although only 31002/3 have entered service with their originally allocated numbers

South's Guilford-based BYD/E200evMMC 29101-9 are renumbered 74001-9
East Scotland's Perth-based BYD/E200evMMC 29110-25 are renumbered 74010-25
West Scotland's Volvo 7900Es 29301-6 are renumbered 76001-6

Oxford's new E400EVs will be numbered 80001-55
The BYD/E400EVs are renumbered 84xxx - for example, Perth's 14070 will now be 84070
The Volvo BZL/MCV deckers due for Cambridge will be 86001-30 - originally booked to be 13201-30
The Hydrogen-powered E400FCs for Merseyside (owned by Merseytravel) will be numbered 89001-10 - they were originally booked to be numbered 16001-10

Just something I've been trying to work out but everything is allover the place lately. Am I right in saying that the official allocations, on paper, for these two depots are with some of them spares in the blocks:

X7/X8/X9: 1493, 1501 - 1505, 7601 - 7608
X10/X11: 7611 - 7617, 7621
306/308: 1480, 1495, 1496, 1500, 7628 - 7637
43/44/45: 7501 - 7507, 7509, 7522, 7553 - 7556
47: 1499
51/52/53/54/55: 1574 - 1588
Spares / Schools: 1512, 1513, 1542, 1543, 7524 - 7526, 7557, 7558, 7560, 7562, 7620, 7622 - 7625

Obviously in the real world it's just throw anything on anything.

Hi does anyone know if stageocach still run those Sedgefield Schoolars? The 5197, SL06 etc? And if they do does anyone know the times that they run? And where they go

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone could tell me why the Go North East Leyland Lynes were rebuilt both at the front and rear? Was also wondering when these rebuilds were done? When they were brand new they looked like this at the front: - https://www.flickr.com/photos/ian_simpson/2938247546 and then rebuilt to look like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/66289212@N07/49926097833. When they were new I remember they had the number plate on the bonnet at the rear and i'm sure it was moved to the top right corner and a new bonnet was fitted. Also noticed they done a rear rebuild with some of the ex MCW Metrobus Mark IIs. Just asking out of curiousity really as I have been watching some old bus vids on YouTube.

Thanks

My colleagues in the PSV Circle have reported a replacement 7513 in the form of LJ61 CHG, formerly Arriva London North T203, a classic Enviro 400. Presuming it is having the centre door removed before it comes north to Durham/Teesside.

Wonder if a replacement for 7508 is on the cards too. Can't remember if that was an accident victim as well, or just past its best !

Does anyone know where 7555/53 are and when they're expected to be back, both have been off the road for a considerable amount of time.
