Not yet - they've been working alongside the Enviros up till now but I'm wondering if that time is imminent?

16960-16966 have been withdrawn, ready for transfer. Unfortunately, I don't know where to, if anybody knows, then it be MBONWICK.

16964 working 471/2 again this afternoon.

47741 in Hull depot for painting plain white. Apparently it's been donated.

Long way to go for a repaint, then again if it as been donated to someone in that area.

Hull is allegedly the closest paintshop that has spare capacity. From the sound of things this is a very rush donation....

Not surprising, considering that it the only one to receive stagecoach livery, plus still waiting for two more Enviro400's to arrive from Manchester fleet.

Actually it was quite noticeable in Birkenhead today that with the exception of a couple of vehicles on the 1 the First livery has basically disappeared. It was wall to wall Sfagecoach on 38, 41/2 and 471/2.

Reported elsewhere that 19061 is out of service at Sharston pending transfer to Merseyside.

If these plans for an open-top parade in Wrexham go ahead, Stagecoach might be getting a phone call, or Arriva, but Stagecoach would make more sense. Will be interesting to see if it does happen.

I will be in Wrexham on Thursday, so just might call at the depot, to see if I can see the last three bluebird schoolbuses that I still need.
