Quote from: gka472l on October 26, 2023, 06:23:16 PMOf note is the first of the swaps between Arriva Merseyside & Leicester, 4416 YX64VOP is now 4734 in the Arriva Merseyside fleet (Bootle depot) and entered service on the 62 in Liverpool today. Unsure what's gone to Leicester in return as Arriva Merseyside 4411/19/20 (58 plate), 4423-4425, 4427-4434 (09 plate) are all said to be destined for Leicester....

HTH

I noted an 09 plate E400 yesterday morning travelling along the A6 St Margaret's Way in the old arriva livery, wasn't quick enough to get the full reg 🤦

Must be one of MX09 LXE/K/N/S. Bus Times would suggest MX09 LXS

4417/9 have disappeared of Bustimes so presumably they've moved to Merseyside, but nothing seems to have replaced them on Bustimes

Drove past Thurmaston depot Monday, only 1 electric noted, wonder if the others on Tony's latest list are stored off site ?

Maybe at MRC at Derby Garage having decals etc

Yes some are stored there at the moment due to lack of space within Thurmaston depot.

Very rare allocation for the 37 thurnby lodge today. Hinkleys 2003 tracking as SP TN on bustimes. Might have been at thurmaston for MOT or repairs.

One of the Hinckley E200s was on the 104 last week so quite possibly.

Most likely the same bus. Unlikely it's moved to thurmaston but they are nice busses.

Rare, but not entirely unheard of. A couple of years ago I rode on 2001 on the 127:

T70 tracking as 104 and then 31/x31 anyone snap if it is the bus or a tracking error.

It's a tracking error - I saw it on the 31 and it was one of the Sapphire MMCs. Not sure which but presumably 4547

4433 looks like a dodgy swop, according to Bustimes hasn't earned a penny in a month
