>>> 32 ADL MMC City Enviro400 BYD Electric Bus double deckers (Sharston, Manchester) <<<
These will be very similar to the BDE-class electrics currently being delivered to Metroline for route 43 at Holloway. Their purchase is being supported financially by a Green Bus Fund award.
I think I am right in saying these will be the first examples of the E400 City bodywork in a Stagecoach fleet.

Yes - surprisingly given its extensive Megabus network which competes directly, Stagecoach is still a sub-contractor for National Express on routes serving the Chesterfield/Sheffield area (including 560 Sheffield-London). These will no doubt be the new Levante 3 design that was introduced last year and is spreading across National Express services.

Wow, not a single Wrightbus product, not that they were fans and the Streetlites are woeful...

Just picked up on this - if I am reading this correctly, these are the same model as the 100-seater tri-axle beasts which recently entered service with Lothian Buses.

Looks nice. Are Stagecoach planning an Arriva-style rebrand? I like their current logo, but it is over 20 years old now  |
