Stagecoach Yorkshire 24/08


 

Delivery has commenced of the (Scarborough-built) batch of 20 E400MMCs due here.? The first arrival is 11700 (YX23 OYP).? The batch runs from 11697 to 11716 inclusive.? It is possible that many of the batch will loose their booked '23' registrations in place of '73' registrations which start next week.

Ian


 

Any idea which depots ?

No problems Ian thought Barnsley might get some for 66 Hoyland?

It would appear there may be some mix up with the current deliveres? Here is 11701 (booked YX23OYR, however gained YX73PCV because it was registered in Sept-nothing unusal about this) which is with Stagecoach Ribble in Preston:?, however, 11697-11716 were the fleet numbers booked for Holbrook.

I'm sure I read elsewhere that 11700-YX23OYP is no longer with Yorkshire, as it was incorrectly delivered to Yorkshire operation? And finally, but not relevant to Yorkshire operations, BLOTW notes that Midland Red (South) have YX73OVU, which is 11663, however, it is carrying number 11646 (according to the British Bus Publishing fleet book, 11663 is 1 of 14 that are/were due to Midlands Northampton depot.?

Cheers.


 

Hello

Not quite - 11700 was correctly delivered to Holbrook but it and 11701, plus at least 1 destined for Hull and a couple destined for somewhere down south have gone on loan to Merseyside and South Lancs as some of their batch of identical vehicles (but on a different production line) have been delayed and M&SL needed the vehicles to allow for a series of cascades to happen.

Once the M&SL vehicles are delivered 11700/1 should move to Holbrook.
