Just seen 6018 this morning in Metrobus new (blue) livery looks good! Got a picture but unsure how to share. Looks like it's going on the 3. Pic link - flic.kr/p/2n7tj6Z

Anyone have any updates in regards to the new Wright Hydroliner vehicles for the 10 & 20? Are they still due to be delivered in June or has delivery been pushed back?

Unfortunately yes, due to delays in Production by Wrightbus the first ones should now be arriving in November 2022 and in service by December/January, as far as I’m aware the hydrogen infrastructure is still on schedule.

Not 100% on this but apparently Metrobus have purchased an Enviro 200. YX16OCU from border buses. If this is true, is this the replacement for 6288?

another 2nd hand E200 has been acquired, SN65OFE, this'll be numbered 6704 and YX16OCU will be 6703. 6703 is currently at Conway Street undergoing a repaint before entering service, no idea if it'll be refurbed though.

Does anyone know why 6108 was withdrawn from Metrobus and sent to GoAhead Ireland? (Please do correct me if I got that info wrong)

E200 6765 has suffered an engine fire in East Grinstead town centre in rather dramatic fashion this afternoon… not sure if it will be fixed or more likely written off

Metrobus look to be taking on the Sunday operation of route 32 from Stagecoach at the end of August. Their route registration seemingly covers the full length Guildford to Redhill as per the Mon-Sat Compass Bus service, rather than just the current contracted Guildford to Strood Green section which is run by Stagecoach under contract to Surrey County Council.

That does look to be repairable.
