Based on lists of registration allocations for Manchester (I have seen 'marks' allocated up to 'OXM' for the last Manchester batch), these look to be of a following batch.

Also outside AD Falkirk last night were two white E200MMCs (operator unknown) registered SN16OXV/SN16OXW so there is another 'gap' in the sequence before Stagecoach registrations resume. Based on this, OYO/OYP could be Newcastle-bound.

10655-10663: Barnsley

It looks like Barnsley's will be the first 66 reg examples  - but will this be appropriate for the route they will be allocated to, or are they for something else? If for the 66, does anyone know what will happen to 19559-66?

(20 Aug 2016, 9:24 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Reportedly not due until January - which does somewhat beg the question why Chesterfield's examples aren't 26063-69 and Newcastke 26070-87

Am I right in thinking that they're due fairly soon?

(21 Aug 2016, 11:18 am)Tamesider wrote Just an update, as all 53 have now been delivered. However, the following are yet to enter service:

10603 (AZ); 10622/3/5-30 (ST). Reports elsewhere of 10622/6 entering service should be disregarded - for now. Both are at Stockport, but neither had seen service by yesterday. I believe 10626 was a typo error by one source that has been perpetuated elsewhere.

Also, it looks like some early Hybrids rendered surplus by new MMCs at Oxford are transferring to Manchester. However, its not clear which ones and there is a sharp contradiction in rumours regarding which depot (s) they will run from.

(21 Aug 2016, 7:35 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Understand no Gold-specification vehicles are due before the end of 2016 - indeed, Aldershot's and Oxford's might even be delivered post April (into the next financial year).

(22 Aug 2016, 1:29 pm)KB59 wrote Hi Kuyoyo,

I have seen on another site that Barnsley's 400MMC 10655 to 663 are to be registered as follows:

YX66 WCV/W/Y/Z, WDA/C/D/E/F.

Can you confirm?

Many Thanks

(22 Aug 2016, 1:35 pm)Kuyoyo wrote I don't have a list of registrations myself - so I can't confirm anything. The list is updated once either the vehicles are sighted or the registrations are posted to the 'Stagecoach Enthusiasts' Group on Facebook (the 'original' one). Barnsley's however are meant to be the first of the Euro6 Enviro400s for a Stagecoach operation outside London to be bodied at Scarborough rather than Falkirk.

On the subject of registrations, 3 of the Astromegas have been spotted at Arriva Bus and Coach in Cleckhenton complete with registrations:
50287 (YJ16 EJE)
50288 (YJ16 EJF)
50289 (YJ16 EJO)

(22 Aug 2016, 1:19 pm)KB59 wrote Hi Tamesider,

Do you believe that all 26 of the E400H at Oxford are transferring to the Manchester area leaving none at Oxford?

Thanks for any information.
