I saw 11510 & 11511 on route 192 earlier this afternoon. With new ADL double-decks reaching Abellio, Go-Ahead and Stagecoach in London as well as here, I wonder whether these were completed prior to the shutdown or whether even limited production has resumed.

11512 and 11515 were in the depot this afternoon.

Observed this evening which I found to be quite bizarre was 12190 on the 309 and 47623 on the 368!

I thought the 309 still had a weight limit on demmings road?

Same here. I saw it arriving back at the bus station around 8pm. Bus times confirms it worked one trip inbetween a pair of 325s. https://bustimes.org/services/309-stockp...2020-05-23

The mapping seems to confirm it missed demmings/queens road, running through cheadle and turning round at the a34 cheadle Royal roundabout (so it missed stops at the college too)

19361 was allocated to an Enviro400 which was ordered for the Cambridge P&R but it was renumbered 19316 so it fitted in with the batch already there at the time

I saw my first E400H on route 197 for some time yesterday. It had habitually been 16-reg Enviro400-MMC recently.

Ah cheers for that. I've seen that as well but at the time never came across a reference to its allocated number.

At Sharston Enviro400MMC's 10402, 10407, 10411 and 10425 remain Sorn/VOR. Hybrids 12234, 12235, 12236, 12237 and 12238 are back on the road the rest of this batch and the 10/60 batch seem to still be off the road. Enviro400s 19416, 19421, 19427, 19429, 19467, 19468, 19471 and the 6 ex South Yorkshire examples are back out. Similar 19418, 19419, 19420, 19423, 19470, 19473, 19485 and 19488 look to of moved to Ashton and 19426 to Stockport not sure if these are permanent or loans and finally unless is a misleading report on Bus Times Veteran Enviro400 19043 is also back in use at Sharston.
