MHV30-49 are the EvoSetis due to transfer here from London
Spotted on the A1 on the back of two Thorntons low loaders earlier this afternoon were two ex GoAhead London MCV Evoseti Bus, which given the chatter I presume are part of the batch for GNW...

There was also an ex London Enviro400 ahead of them, also on a Thorntons lorry but presumably for someone else.

Does seem strange for these to come to Manchester over Wright or ADL bodied deckers. Anything’s better than the god awful Streetdecks.

I would think they would get paint job /manual ramp fitted / middle door removed and 2 more seats added and maybe few flip seats. I be shocked if they touch the seat covers unless they want GNW ones. and all the Ibus kit holes need hiding. should be fast turn round.
The MCVs will be numbered 3051-3070
I wonder if all of the Euro 6 conversions are now complete? the Euro 3 B7RLEs must have only days left in service now
*buses 2012* has posted a picture of SN14TTE on twitter. Its been away for USBs to be fitted and is now repainted in the pink cross city livery. Currently awaiting vinyls

3101 and 3102 have been re-painted.
This suggests there are insufficient Citaros for route 41, or that they will be redeployed or even withdrawn

Unless plans have changed in the last few weeks, the grey citaros are being withdrawn. Evocetis are due any time now and another Enviro400 (unknown right now) is also being repainted into pink.
A few pink citataros are supposed to be getting withdrawn too, but not many as far as i know

See my above comment regarding the second Enviro400.

Some of the 41 boards have always been double deck and rather than throw any B9 on them having a couple of deckers painted up makes sense.
