Out of interest, what's going to happen to the MMCs? It won't be the first time fairly new MMCs leave the route, after that happened when Little Gem introduced brand new MMCs and then moved them to the 44 route. In fact it'll be the fourth time since COVID brand new vehicles get introduced on the 391!

The MMC’s are only leased and will be returned once the X2 Mellor Stratas have been built and enter service. WU24 ZMZ is one of the Mellor Stratas that we got early.

At least the 391 / 891 is getting nice new vehicles! The fuel economy on the Mellor Stratas is also significantly better than the Enviro 200 MMC’s. Due to the nature of the route, the Stratas are much more suitable.
