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

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.

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.

32083 and 32277 are currently on their way to Bristol.

63350/64 have apparently arrived at Abbey Lane.

The last two ALX's at Leicester are 32082 which is thought to be going to Potteries in exchange for 32092 expected to swap with 66827 from Basildon.

The other 4 B7's are apparently en route to Bristol today.

Wrightbus Streetdeck 35170 (SM65WNG) is apparently due here shortly, the first of 25 which are expected to replace the remaining E400's here.

2016 order starting to arrive already! I imagine E400s are going to WoE?

Wrights must be back on the ball since the following batch are for Norwich and one of those is complete.

I could see the rest of the E400's going to WoE, be a shame if all their recently inherited ALX's were only temporary but we'll see. Not sure if the Geminis would be finished too or just the last 2 ALX's.

Thanks for the info, is this batch all for Leicester do you know? I'm sure it's 35193 onwards for Norwich PinkLine:

It's a very impressive investment for Leicester though on the back of the other StreetLites and StreetDecks in 2015.
