Nothing unique about it, it's just a bog standard euro6 E400H on loan from ADL.

It has vents in all the same places as the existing E400Hs and it has a Stagecoach Hybrid interior maybe it is a new version of the hybrid technology to be put in the next generation of E400H.

Has anyone got the most update to date fleetlist?

It was only issued last weekend, and that was a bank holiday.

Patience....

Anyone know anything about the progress of repairs on 26130 (KK07 BLU), the fire damaged VDL SB120 Plaxton Centro?

Question folks: why have stagecoach manchester got a pair of routemasters?

Never actually seen em but believe they hire them out etc, been round few bus events but don't recall having seen the pair attend anything. Just seems odd that they've got routemasters, but hopefully they'll be allowed out to a few shows etc etc.

Have they?
Carnt say I've seen the latest fleetcard but I looked quite closely at the last one and I don't remember seeing anything about Routemasters, and the cards normally list all vehicles including ancillary and company cars etc.

Don't know whether or not this is the reason but for my school prom (20th June), the school have hired some "vintage buses" - unsure on origin but until know I reckoned that Belle Vue's Birmingham Guy was on the cards - but maybe they are hiring these?
