The 183's batch (BCE47111-137) now have 22-plates: BCE47111 LG22ATX BCE47112 LG22ATY BCE47113 LG22ATZ BCE47114 LG22AUA BCE47115 LG22AUC BCE47116 LG22AUE BCE47117 LG22AUF BCE47118 LG22AUH BCE47119 LG22AUJ BCE47120 LG22AUK BCE47121 LG22AUL BCE47122 LG22AUM BCE47123 LG22AUN BCE47124 LG22AUO BCE47125 LG22AUP BCE47126 LG22AUR BCE47127 LG22AUT BCE47128 LG22AUU BCE47129 LG22AUV BCE47130 LG22AUW BCE47131 LG22AUX BCE47132 LG22AUY BCE47133 LG22AVB BCE47134 LG22AVC BCE47135 LG22AVD BCE47136 LG22AVE BCE47137 LG22AVF Just copying it over to here. These have now started appearing on route 183 at SO - 47112 and 47113 were both on the route on Tuesday 8th March. Some 71-registered BCEs are starting to transfer back to their intended home at Fulwell. As these are a follow-on batch from 71-registered 47100-47110 these will almost certainly be treated as a common pool and it won't be long before a 22-plate appears on the X140. They could potentially make the odd appearance on the H14 too but I don't know if that route is cleared for BCE. EDIT: H14 is cleared for BCE, 47108 (a 71-registered example) was on the route on 10th March.

Vectare Essex has a few 22-registration ADL Enviro200 MMCs on Chelmsford Park & Ride services (Sandon Park and Chelmer Valley). They appear to temporary loans from dealer stock as they are in allover white with vinyls proclaiming "I'm helping out on Chelmsford Park & Ride whilst we put the finishing touches to your brand new buses".

Didn't know First lost the contract , look very smart though . According to Essex County Council, new contract with change of operator from Monday 7th March 2022. These appear to be interim loans from dealer stock and I expect higher-specification buses are on order.

Vectare are pretty new in Essex I believe so good to see them winning work , I know they have a route out Ongar way but depot is in Rettendon bit of a trek but not for Chelms P&R routes and maybe this is the kick up the Harris First Essex need as of late service is shocking plenty of buses not showing up or showing as "live" on First bus app but not actually running , very nice photos

Beeston's of Hadleigh, near Ipswich, Suffolk, has SK22 BTE, a long-wheelbase Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC. I expect this will be used mainly on schools services and private hires rather than their regular 91 route between Ipswich and Sudbury. Photo (not mine): flic.kr/p/2n8D8Ez
