(Yesterday, 11:52 am)ReDemPTiion wrote 11 of Slatyford’s MAN E300’s 24101-24115 will be leaving when the Yutongs start coming out in service. Unsure what 4 will remain at Slatyford but I’ve also heard the 11 are heading to Walkergate for a little while before heading South to another Stagecoach depot. Them 241** buses are horrible things feel sorry for whatever depot gets them.
As someone who is frequently subjected to both these and the 36***/37*** E200s that Stagecoach see fit to use on the X47, I'd far rather it was the E200s going the journey (especially the 61-plates). The E300s can just about handle the peak loadings, whereas the E200s struggle even outside of the peaks - and don't have a single redeeming quality outside of the capacity issue either.
I also find the 241** E300s significantly more pleasant as a passenger than the 27*** variants.
