62192 - X686 ADK arrived at First Leicester's Abbey Lane depot on 18/02/2017, from Buses of Somerset. It is a Wright bodied Volvo B10BLE which was new to Manchester, but spent time in Aberdeen. It is expected to be converted into a driver training vehicle for one of the Midlands' depots.

62245 - Y938 CSF arrived at First Leicester's Abbey Lane depot today (13/02/2017) from Buses of Somerset. It is a Wright bodied Volvo B10BLE which was new to Midland Bluebird. It is expected to be converted into a driver training vehicle for one of the Midlands' depots.

32083 and 32277 are currently on their way to Bristol.

StreetLite 63180 is now at Leicester.

32093 and 32099 are currently on their way to Bristol.

63353 arrived at Abbey Lane just after noon, so that leaves just 63350 & 63364 to turn up.

32091 & 32094 are on their way to Bristol.

Have 63353 and 63354 arrived yet as they were reported as being at the docks on Sunday?

63354 is at Abbey Lane.

Still outstanding are: 63350, 63353 and 63364.

32098 now at Lawrence Hill garage in Bristol.

Bristol crew bus 54601 (RA04 YGX) is currently on site at Abbey Lane, so expect more vehicles to depart today.

63349, 63355, 63365 and 63366 were all out in service yesterday.

63351 and 63352 are at Abbey Lane depot. 63350 and 63364 both last heard of in Belfast.

Is it true that 66820 is transferring to PMT? Also are 32082/83 the buses replacing 66309/14 at PMT? Many thanks if you know.

Not aware of 66820 returning to PMT. As far as I know it is staying at Leicester.

Well, if I was a betting man, I would put money on 32082 & 32083 being for PMT. In the original "plan", PMT was to only receive three, 51 plate, ALX400 B7TLs from Leicester, they are already up to five. But like I said on this forum, the situation with loadings relating to Keele University has forced the company's hand a little bit. Fair play to the company for being dynamic in their decision making processes.

StreetLites 63362 and 63363 are both now in Leicester, with 63363 already entering service today (17/12/2015) on route 16.

63349 entered service in Leicester on 12/12/2015.

63362 is sitting at Heysham.

32084 & 32096 have now gone to Bristol.

66820 is now back at Leicester following repaint at PMT.

63345 entered service today on route 16.

63346, 63348, 63349, 63357, 63358 reported as being at Heynsham Docks today. Access reported blocked due to the weather in recent days.

Not anymore. 63348 and 63357 are currently trundling down the M6.....

Looks as though deliveries of new StreetLite have commenced:

63345 looks to be at Leicester's Abbey Lane depot, whilst 63356 looks to be at Padmore Street, Worcester. 63358 is at Heysham. Interesting because it was thought that 63345 was meant to be a Worcester bus and 63356 a Leicester bus.

BD14 KXT entered service, on route 17, on 02/12/2015: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55205968@N03/22853334783/sizes/l/

StreetLites 63356 and 63358 reported at Heysham so maybe a delivery before the week is out.
