I don't think that happens often, I've never personally seen an Enviro400 on Magicbus duties!

Happens occasionally - ended up doing that myself a few times.Of course, you've never been around on New Years Eve... All 142/3s are run by Enviros that night.

It does happen from time to time. I've seen 19394 and 19395 doing Magic Services on a couple of occasions.
I think there might be a shortage of Magic Buses now Uni's are back, with the Olympians having been withdrawn.

So 16793/95/97 rejected by Kent then presumably. If they are all still any good that would solve the shortage, if they could last 'til the New Year when the tridents currently at Stockport will be available.

I'd be surprised to see 16090 back on the road. Last time I saw it, some months ago now, it could barely stand up on its own.

Nothing wrong with 16090 it has been a regular on the 99 Wave route from Silverhill to Eastbourne along with guest appearances by 16509 and 16792 so they should be fit to work the 142/143 route.
