(25 Nov 2018, 8:11 pm)RBZ 5459 wrote Now out in the open.... I can say that Lancaster are due 18 new E400MMC in the coming weeks for service 1. There are also two new E400MMC for Carlisle depot for use on the 685 to solve capacity issues.

All the above are to be delivered in corporate livery with minimal branding for each service.

These additional buses for Cumbria & North Lancashire are included in an extension of the 2018 order.

(25 Nov 2018, 8:26 pm)Tamesider wrote Will these be 11139-58 or are there more orders to be disclosed?
I'm guessing the Lancaster ones will see 10014-31 cascaded elsewhere.

(25 Nov 2018, 9:41 pm)RBZ 5459 wrote Will confirm in due course.

10014-31 will stay in Lancaster and move onto service 2, which currently has a mixed batch bag on MANviro. Most of those MANs will then move onto disposals.

27141 and 27142 will move onto the 104 at Carlisle, displacing two MANviro to disposal.

Just leaves 37468-81, the 9 BYD's and the extra 11064-74 to come of this years order so all but done - 23 + extra 11 left

Carlisle's 11157 (YX68UXH) is due, with the final Cross Pennine one still on hold.

(24 Dec 2018, 9:49 am)Michael wrote That was quick! 

What are these replacing again?, and where are the current buses going?

(24 Dec 2018, 10:19 am)RBZ 5459 wrote MANviro at Morecambe, with those going onto disposals for other regions to take a punt at... - but no interest yet I believe, so will be parked up and some may become reserve float at C&NL.
Cross Pennine 27141/2 at Carlisle will be repainted into corporate livery in due course for eventual full-time allocation on the 104s (Carlisle-Penrith) alongside current MANviro and E400 - obviously the second E400MMC is delayed so may delay the repaint process.

(24 Dec 2018, 10:24 am)Michael wrote Thanks, surprised that no one has picked the MANviro yet...

11158 is on loan to UK Bus, and is due to be delivered to Stockport - this is the first vehicle in UK Bus to be rigged up to the Cloud for ticketing, diagnostics etc.

thanks
