Two new double deckers seen on delivery on the M5 at lunchtime today.   YT21DWA / DVZ.

Part of 15350 to 15370. Some have already entered service. They're for Gloucester and route 10.

                Thanks for the info , the "different" livery threw me for a moment !! It looks like the 10 is a frequent service so hopefully they will not be too difficult to get.

The 10 is every 10 minutes M-F, every 15 minutes Sat & every 20 minutes Sundays.

According to the blurb that Stagecoach put out: https://www.stagecoachgroup.com/media/news-releases/2020/2020-01-30.aspx Azure blue for its Local service, Amber yellow for Longer, and Ocean green for Specialist.
I would not call the 10 a "longer route" as it is only 14 miles in length with a journey time of 1 hour 30 minutes each way, it has probably got yellow buses as it had Gold Scania liveried buses previously.

853 is will be withdrawn as of 24th July according to VOSA/Traffic Commissioner. Whatever you want to call it.

There was mention at some point last year of Oxfordshire's S2 extending to covering it, given it's the same route to Witney

Edit:
There's a new registration for this route on the Stagecoach Oxfordshire license, so that likely has something to do with it

Cheltenham Festival this week with a large fleet of buses drafted in to get to the race course.
Does SC drag in any buses from Warwickshire or West Mids?

I would think they would come from the stagecoach west division or do you mean like extra buses

Just for the festival services this week don't they need something like an extra 80 or 90 buses? So I would have thought that SC must have to look far and wide?

Most divisions send buses
