First Bus - Leicester

[joieman]

One of the Bath City branded eclipses was parked at the front of Abbey Lane earlier this week possibly this one?

That fits the description of the bus I saw.

69512 is the one at Abbey Lane

Isn't this a south yorks one

An earlier suggestion was that the 5 at EMA are actually on lease and will simply be returned when the contract finishes.

Does anyone know what has happen to these

Yes, still running at the moment. I assume until end of half term? Saw one myself on the shuttle

According to the East Midlands Airport website:

"We have a free pick up or drop off option at our Long Stay car park. This car park is free for up to 60 minutes. Long Stay 2 is a 15 - 20 minute walk or a short shuttle bus journey from the terminal. Please note that the shuttle service won't operate 1 November - 31 March.
Our free shuttle bus operates 24 hours a day, every day. With shuttle buses every 20 minutes, it's a quick journey from the car park to the terminal doors. When returning, the Pick Up zone is just outside of arrivals."

I believe I've spotted one of the newly converted Streetdecks just now, in the depot when I passed on the Skylink.

It has been spotted in Haymarket bus station.
Was intended to go on service 4 this morning, but it's not tracking on there, so as yet am unsure if it's tracking as something else or if it's not actually in service yet (just driver familiarisation)?

Business is good for the BXH5 0705 Coventry (Spon End - Rugby) this morning. Two ADL Enviro400 deckers 33695 & 33696 in convoy. What happened to the electric fleet on this service?

Noticed this for a few weeks as one goes to Haymarket Bus Station and parks up for most of the day.

If bustimes.org is to be believed then 70102 has entered service in Leicester today on service 14

[Mayfield]

I physically saw it this morning on the 74 so Bustimes is correct

Correct.
It's now ran over several days on various routes. I managed to catch it on the 54 today. 
Overall nice job inside. Although I'm shocked that after all this time of preparation it's still got adverts for Bristol inside! I'd have thought they would have at least made some references to the fact it's been converted!

I also went on their depot tour today! Very good.. the engineer Hassan is a credit to the company with his knowledge.
My understanding from what he was saying the E400's will stick around longer for the Amazon services, (currently at 4 Amazon buses on both routes due to increased demand) as the routes didn't get on with the electric buses!
