East Midlands is almost certainly Lincolnshire area to replace Tridents.

As for Yorkshire, I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't end up at one of the Sheffield depots to increase capacity there.

(13 Jun 2016, 5:30 pm)Kuyoyo wrote What Trident boards on the 555? Once the E400MMCs enter service, there will be no Trident workings on the 555 as Morecambe's Summer-only boards are also going over to the new MMCs.

(13 Jun 2016, 5:38 pm)Kuyoyo wrote No - only Scania E400s, Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Geminis and Volvo B7TL/East Lancs Vykings.

(12 Jun 2016, 10:35 pm)Kuyoyo wrote I think you have crossed wires - the Enviro400s the new MMCs are displacing are expected to be cascaded not the MANs.

(13 Jun 2016, 4:50 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Cumbria could be Carlisle to replace the 555 Tridents, Which updates the brand along with the E400MMCs replacing the Scania E400s, The rest will replace other Tridents ( which I believe Carlisle have a few more too )

This is beyond the registrations listed at the last update at the beginning of the month. Could anyone confirm if this is still in the series being delivered to Manchester?

(22 Jun 2016, 8:50 am)Ebs wrote For some reason, 10560 was outside AD Falkirk this morning, complete in full Lakes livery. I had thought this had already been delivered? Did it need to return for some rectifications?

And one spotted yesterday appears to be SN16OVX

(22 Jun 2016, 5:07 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Not all of Manchester's have been delivered. Only the ones for Ashton have been - the Kendal and Lancaster ones are being delivered now then it is the summer shutdown at Alexander Dennis. We are looking at late August/early September for the North East examples.

(22 Jun 2016, 8:49 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Yes I understand, Though it doesn't look like everything is being delivered in order.

It looks like they are being delivered before the Summer Shutdown, The E200MMCs could make it before the Shutdown too seem as though Chester's Batch have been delivered.

This message marked as "3 hours ago" didn't originally appear on my list. However, to clarify, Ashton have received 10578-97, with 11 more still expected (after the shutdown?) But as the Kendal/Lancaster ones are in the Lakes livery, it begs the question who is 'OVX for, never mind the others already mentioned. As an aside, I've heard that Yorkshire's will be built at Scarborough, so won't be affecting the delivery plans from Falkirk.

(29 Jun 2016, 8:11 pm)Tamesider wrote I think thus is correct as, apparently, the body numbers tie in with the second part of the Manchester order. However, there is little info on which ones have made it to Manchester, and certainly none are in service yet.

10598-608 have now appeared on the uk-buses site as at Ashton "depot". From information I have been given, 10598 (as SN16 OVX) is correct, but of the others;, some have not yet been delivered, whilst those that have (about six units) do not tie-up in terms of registration/fleet numbers/body numbers

(07 Jul 2016, 7:55 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Update - full registrations for the Manchester E400MMCs plus the first of the Sprinters

Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMC Euro6

10598-10630 (SN16 OVX/Y/Z, OWA/B/C/D/F/G/H/J/K/M/O/P/R/U/V/W/X/Z, OXA/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/J/K/L/M): Manchester


Funny that these should be updated now. 10607 has just been reported in service at AZ and confirmed as 'OWH. However, 10598 has been reported on a HE service and having originally been confirmed as wearing 'OVX, it was then suggested it should be O*U*X, only to be sighted wearing 'OUP !!! Meanwhile, 10609-13 are in service at HE.
