Thanks for that

At the same time as the MMC on the 204, Enviro200 36822 was on the 82!

Neither intended allocations, just swaps during the day for various reasons and the only available buses being those at the time.

Weekends are the best time to see MMCs on the 53, Saturday can see 90% to full allocation, with quite often full allocation Sundays, with the live bus tracker now, you can follow the allocations & plan accordingly.

Scania N230UD/Alexander Dennis Enviro400 15588 is now re-registered TSV722 (ex GX10HAA) and is in an overall dark blue livery to promote tackling climate change.


Edit - photo added, not the best as taken in dark around midnight but it does at least show the livery a bit!

Spotted it rubbed down for painting on the 8 September, next to withdrawn Solo 47492.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/48...ed-public/ Is that the last Coastliner to lose that livery? Cheers

It is yes, the others were all painted quite a while ago - 15585 is in corporate livery under the China Dream wrap (it came in corporate livery mind under a different advert so hasn't been repainted) and 15586 is in its pink Cancer Research UK livery but 15590 - 15599 are all corporate livery.

Stagecoach have put on their twitter feed that some of their services are starting and terminating on London Road due to congestion in the city centre

Does anyone know where SN56 AWH has gone? I have not long ago seen the Enviro400 at Gilmoss Depot doing a few routes but recently, I have no idea where it is..
