That was clever. 
40 new hybrids come to free up 40 buses, and they transfer out too many and leave themselves short. Weren't the tridents supposed to going to Wigan soon as well?
According to a posting on Facebook, 19290, 19330, 19341, 19358, 19398, & 19500 are currently sit in Barnsley depot!
What? Is someone having a laugh?
I could have sworn my calendar said April 15th, not 1st

They are actually at Sheffield Holbrook, supposedly on-loan while their E400Hs have their problems sorted out. And also to enable the 6 they borrowed during transfer to other operations to move to their intended destination.

Mayneway, I think we may have a lead on our missing Solo 
Yep it does, although it's as bad as unreliable as most of Maytree 's vehicles seemed to be so good luck to them.

Couldn't the same be said for HE though?
The apparent conversion of the ex London Tridents last year was for them to cover for Enviro400's going down to the Olympics. Yet they returned and the Tridents are still in regular use. They keep cropping up on the 168's and 169's on a daily basis.
I know it's been hinted that they should be moved on by summer, but I carnt wait to see the back them. Horrid buses

Well it's a better job than any others we've seen recently.
I think it looks supurb as its well better than the rest of the repaints.
