I have noted a number of ex- North East Enviro400 hybrids in Middleton over the weekend, in Bee network livery. Given that Manchester has been disposing of similar vehicles recently, can anyone cast any light on the thinking behind those moves?

12072 seen a short while ago at Eastham on the Wirral, freshly into Bee Network yellow, on tow, presumably heading for Manchester.

MCV Evora 21367 has arrived at Hyde Road depot on loan from Stagecoach East and is due to move to Queens Road depot soon.

A few of the ex Oxford Bus Company B5LH's have now recieved Stagecoach numbers as they are to be used by them from 24/3, not actually sure if they are still Go Ahead owned but being loaned to Stagecoach, or TfGM owned for use by Stagecoach in tranche 2 of Bee Network....

OE62ZRN 13181
OE62ZRX 13188
OE62ZRT 13185
OE62ZRP 13183
OE62ZRV 13187
OE62ZRD 13175

Looks like they're being numbered in registration order (rather than former Oxford fleetnumber order, they were 351-369 there, and all had 'OXF' reg's)

The ex First Enviro300's at Oldham are said to be getting 279** numbers, plus quite a few current GNW vehicles at Queens Road are also going on loan to Stagecoach pending new deliveries (B9TL's and Scania's 3601-3620 at least.....). The new E400MMC's, 11798/9/801-880 (there is no 11800) are being built at both Falkirk & Scarborough, and the TfGM owned electrics are 84201-84250.

The ex Oxford hybrids have been sold to TFGM for the vehicle pool. Not too sure if stagecoach have bought them or if they are just using them till their own vehicles arrive. The Scanias are o only being loaned to stagecoach and will return to GNW.

Would guess all Go Ahead Loans will return to them once all deliveries are complete.

It’s slightly confusing because the assumption is the Oxford hybrids are loans when in fact they were sold to TFGM and will pass to stagecoach.
The evosettis were apparently originally part of the vehicle pool but stagecoach rejected them along with other vehicle types.
We are told the scania’s along with the B9’s will be used until the end of the year.
