Doubt they would introduce a one off Volvo bus into T. I am sure they will be able to find a single hybrid suitable for the garage. Could be another ex-HK E40H/City to standardise at T with the 20/616. When the 257 converts to electrics, the remaining hybrid fleet at T will just be 61reg E40Hs (likely too old for a new contract), E40H/Citys and LTs. At the moment HK has 38 of them (including the 65reg ex-demo). Roughly they need 22 for the 26 and 12 for the 388, and 2 due to move to the 616, so that still leaves 1-2 spare. The 26 has 3 spares and the 388 has 2. |

The 26 has 3 spares and the 388 has 2. Could the 657 use an LT? it could, but it'll probably be either - one of the spare 277 hybrids - the Evoseti from the 58 allocated "on paper," but in practice, something already at T. |

12538 is on route 20. I wonder if this is the first bus to transfer over to AW for the 20 / 616 ahead of the move to T next month.

Was on the 309 today, 37560 (YX61 FZL) *to be precise*, and it seemed to have gone through a refurbishment. The seats were now the grey leather trim and they were definitely more comfortable than the old ones.
Though I would've thought they wouldn't refurbish any of the old ex TT E200 Darts this old, however I was clearly mistaken and these buses may be sticking around for slightly longer.
After all there was a mention about the E200 Darts being used on the W12 temporarily until the E100 EVs arrive, and this would give it a more better experience for passengers.

Is someone able to confirm is 86162 has the Stagecoach logo at the front and back of the bus?
I saw a picture with the front of the bus having the Stagecoach logo, with the text in black and the back having the normal Stagecoach logo, in white text which actually looked really nice, unlike the front.

I doubt they would refurbish a bus that's being used temporarily but happy to be corrected.
I can't see any big gaps in the history on LVF so not sure when this was refurbished.

I don't wish to sound too critical but whilst it is most likely the case its best to wait for confirmation. There have been loans in the past between the two garage.

Completely fine by me! I also heard from someone that it was the reason why it moved to AW, and it was a spare after all. |

If they put a 10.9 on the 394 I’m amazed it even made it out. Even the 9m vehicles were a squeeze!!! 37791 was the one involved and it logged onto the 394 for around 2 hours last Thu. So if it's not a glitch, it likely did a rounder before being subbed off, which still amazes me! 37785 was also out on the 309 for almost a full day the same day. I don’t think it is a glitch because 37743 is frequently on the 394, as a matter of fact I was on it this morning on the 394 |

LI been dealing with Volvo buses for time. Edit: Around 7 Years ago when stagecoach first used the B5LH MMCs on the 47/177 I thought to myself that it would be cool if the 97 had them. Dreams do really come true. |

A picture of the SL3's future allocation, this is NOT a demonstrator because Stagecoach have ordered these before the demonstrator could be released. Attachments:
