Currently in storage at Go North West's Wigan depot for use by Metroline Manchester are a large amount of Bee Network E200MMC's, no idea what fleetnumbers (or even what sort of fleetnumbering system Metroline Manchester will use) they will be but they are as follows...
YX24OZA
YX24OZB
YX24OZC
YX24OZD
YX24OZE
YX24OZF
YX24OZG

With Bee Network tranche 3 starting on 5/1/25, potentially these could get '74' plates instead.
In addition, several Volvo B9TL/Wright from London are up in Manchester are trainers, I believe they are at the Arriva Wythenshawe depot....they are as follows
BK10MEV
BK10MFA
BK10MFE
BK10MFF
BK10MFO
BV10WVX

Thank you for your early heads-up regarding their planned rolling stock.
Regarding Metroline Manchester (commencing Bee Network services from 5th January 2025)
As well as they ordered the new front nonelectric StreetDecks, does anyone know if they also ordered the Bee Network spec Volvo BZL MCV DDs as noticed the pictures on FB?

Thee BZL deckers are some of the examples that were for Stagecoach at Stockport, however as there will be no progress on a new depot there for electric buses for a couple of years yet, Metroline Manchester are taking a large amount of them now....

Cheers for that.
I saw WSD277 along Heaton Moor Road on Wednesday. It must have been on driver/route training.
I saw an E200MMC in Heaton Moor on Wednesday, evidently following the 42a routeing. It had the company name and address as Metroline Manchester at the Metroline London address.
From bus lists on the web, numbers of the E200MMC's are now known, also many now with 74 plates instead of the originally allocated 24 plates.

Are any vehicles from London coming up or is it just the training B9TLs?
