Hi all
4 Trident/ALX400s have joined the fleet on loan from Stagecoach Cumbira & North Lancs and will remain until the new E400MMCs are delivered later in the year.? They are 18330 (MX05 WJA), 18356 (MX55 KPG), 18364 (MX55KPT) and 18381 (MX55 KRU) and are to be split between Chesterfield and Ecclesfield depots. As they do not comply with the Sheffield CAZ they should not be seen in central Sheffield - their use at Ecclesfield being confined (in theory!) to the 72 and 201.
Due to funding from Derbyshire County Council the X17 service is receiving a boost from the end of May, with the Chesterfield to Matlock section increased from hourly to half-hourly, and an hourly Matlock to Wirksworth extension introduced. This will require 2 more vehicles.
