First Leicester Enviro 400

[PM]

HI!  from me down in Worcester!

Thanks to all of you above who've reported on the Leicester Enviro 400s, and the likely transfers to follow.

I would not mind 'us' receiving some crumbs from Leicester's table  - ie  one or two DDdeckers!    :P

It looks as thought First have forgotten they still own Worcester & Hereford. Ensign currently have two of each 10 plate B7RLE/Plaxton Centro's & ADL300's that would fit in well with WR's fleet

I think now all Single decks are DDA the chances of more vehicles are quite slim when places like Potteries are full of non DDA Scanias and B10s

Maybe some deckers at the potteries will displace some of the step entry stuff as well...

I agree, but a large proportion of the WR & HD fleets are 54 plate & older. Even the E300's on the 144 seem to be suffering more regular breakdowns

Potteries don't have any B10's unless I missed something. As i said. Those Ultralows are ok just a case of them being in the same league as some members of the NXWM fleet, at the end of their life and I have to say I prefer the Fiolines. I am interested to see what Potteries will do with their new intake if and when it happens of course

[bwsau cymru]

for me I now look forward to the current enviros in London being rehomed as virtually all have air conditioning/air cooling units. This is a feature I think is brilliant, just hope first don't disconnect them!

That was the Dagenham's entire E400 fleet, there are still a number of other newer vehicles that could still be cascaded:

Trident President 33185, 33187, 33189 & 33191 (52 plate)
Trident ALX400 33377-33382 (53 plate) - at least four are currently being prepared for delivery to First Taunton following refurbishment in a special green livery
Dart SLF/Caetano Nimbus - 42513, 42516, 42519, 42538 & 42539 (3 x 03 & 2 x 53 plates)
ADL E200's 4401-44006, 44076-44081 57 plate & 08 plate

Plus various other older Darts & Tridents

32349-60 have already gone to Bristol, the Presidents and the ALX400 are also committed elsewhere I think. Not sure about the Caetano but the E200s are destined for First Essex so I believe.

Yes of course, forgot that Bristol had received the extra Geminis

[Ashley]

15 of the 35 new (ish) Enviro's are now at Leicester but none are in service as driver training as taking longer than expected. They also expect 5 Gemini's to eventually transfer to Essex for use at Hadleigh depot

[John]

Is there any word as to when these Enviro400s will start to enter service?

[Tony]

About a dozen are already in service with several Gemini transferred to Hadleigh depot last night

Ah right, thanks Tony. I will have to try and get up to Leicester soon

Very disappointed on the one I travelled on today. Dark, dirty already and some filler in cracks in the ceiling upstairs already.  Would have got another one but driver failed to stop for me.

Sounds like your experience was quite negative, unfortunately. Bit of a long shot but I doubt you got any photos of the 'crack'? (Or the shoddy repair job)

I did take a photo but it is not clear enough to see the crack.
