Stagecoach to renumber Electric and other Alternative fuel vehicles
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
