Is there a reason why 1883 and 1918 are at BY? Don't they have 1876 and 1877 as covers or do they replace them?

It's because the Scanias are going to be sent for Euro 6 upgrade few at a time.

Really? Would have thought WB could cope without needing to borrow buses as we tend to loan them out.

Making sure there's enough E200s more than total buses.
1918, 4524, 4525 have also left WB as cover elsewhere an probably won't  return. 1918 hasn't physically left yet

Where will the LWB E200's be displaced onto to when the 40 officially goes WMB? The 42/43 and 44 obviously but you only ever see one on the 47 as it's mainly Deckers most of the time. I can only really see them going back onto the 46 full time because the Omnilinks aren't really required on there now, most of the loads an E200 can take

Also what will they actually use on the 40/46 on a Sunday? Will be fun seeing the E200MMC's trying to navigate the tight turn around at the Scott Arms with their poor turning circle...

They already use E200MMCs on the 40 so what difference does a livery make?
