Thanks M.B., that makes sense.

Any idea's anyone?

If these go to Guildford, they could be for route 715 to Kingston.

Also Portsmouth for the 23 and possibly the other main routes around Portsmouth and Havant?

26172-177 are for Scunthorpe to uograde Humber Fastcat 350

Has anyone noticed any orders coming through? I have only noticed the open-toppers for Kendal and the Scanias for Fenstanton having arrived but nothing else (unless you include the Gillmoss and Middleton integrals).

10866-10881 which are listed for Cambridge are confirmed to be running on the citi 1 route in Peterborough, not in Cambridge as originally listed.
Following my earlier comment, it seems like the Stagecoach orders are being delayed. The upgrade to Bedford route 99 and X5 spares with new 54826-54834 will not take place during the 2017/18 financial year.
I have also heard that 15340-15349, due at Swindon to upgrade route 55 to new buses will not take place during the 2017/18 financial year.
It seems like Arriva and First managed to get their buses through first if that is how it works. Lots of Arriva buses have been spotted around the country from ADL, particularly The Shires and Yorkshire.
First two comments taken from Steven Knight Media, third comment taken from Swindon Bus News & Spotting Movements Facebook page.

This is very late compared to last year: 10779 - 10788 (almost the end of the order) had arrived by early January, and this is close to the start of the order arriving late October/November.
Anyone else wondering why orders seem to be very slow? Possibly the NCT bio-gas buses and other companies placing orders first and Stagecoach being put further down the waiting list?

SN67WVK has arrived at a Manchester depot, Stockport I presume.

There is already a picture of it on Flickr here. I am intrigued by its location here allowing for other buses in the photo!
