I'm sure they'll be good once they've been repainted, refurbished etc. I went on 16956 last Saturday and the inside was awful with the purple leather like seats, etc. The bus seemed to run ok though. |

That's going to go down well when the kids are all paying with tenners on a Monday morning and they get a minimum of 6 coins back... Yes it does seem a bit daft to increase a price of any weekly ticket to a 25p denomination. I hope the drivers are going to be supplied with a nice batch of 75p coins before they start their shifts

I don't think there are any current plans to refurbish them, just a repaint and convert the fuel filling system to standard Stagecoach spec. |

Well I hope the people of Fife like the purple leather like seats better than I did then. |

At least 1 has already had new flooring put on the wheelchair ramp. Curious as to what you mean by "convert the fuel filling system to Stagecoach standard" as well? |

Interesting that all 10 have turned-up at Fife, as it had bee previously reported on this thread that they were to be transferred to Lincolnshire. |

That was last year The same thread also reported the 06 reg Enviro400's were going to Hull, but half of them have finished up in Merseyside, with the rest due to go soon.

So far the ones they're believed to be taking are 19007, 19009-19014 and 19055/6/8, will be confirmed when they actually all move. |
