Does anyone know the buses that have recently left Leicester recently with the Enviro400s entering service?

I know that

B7TLs 32062 and 32063 have gone to Great Yarmouth and 32054/32055 to Potteries

And that B7Ls 66307, 66311 are with Potteries also

Thanks in advance  ;D

32647 & 32650 on loan to Worcester, presumably not a departure though.

B7TLs 32061 and 32065 are also at Great Yarmouth and Potteries have 32053, 32056 and 32057 as well as the two above.  Potteries have B7Ls 66302, 66303 and 66313 as well.  B7RLE 66962 is also at Potteries, 66964 might also be there.

With the Redditch line shut in the summer, a Gemini has been seen at Redditch Station, potentially testing etc? There first job will be to cover two Tridents loaned to hereford for a festival down that way

Volvo B7TL's 32058/32059/32064 all still see service in Leicester mainly on the 38/38a and 88/88a.

33508 and a 22 branded E400 are off the road at the minute but when they enter service the B7TL's may depart.

66306 and 33610 are in service in The Potteries now from Leicester

Reported on the East Norfolk Bus Blog is that 32064 arrived at Great Yarmouth on Tuesday 3rd June.

32059 was the last of the Alx400's to depart yesterday - two of Leicester's Geminis are rumoured to also be going to Great Yarmouth soon but that remains to be seen.

Are you sure 32630 is at Great Yarmouth yet?  It is due but the fleetlist dated today on the Norwich Bus Page has not got it included yet suggesting it may not have arrived just yet.  Not reported as having arrived yet on the East Norfolk Bus Blog which usually reports the day new vehicles arrive.

Definately the smartest looking bus in the First Leicester fleet

32630 still in service in Leicester on 07/07/2014.

32061 wasn't at Ipswich initially. It was at Great Yarmouth (initially), went on loan to Ipswich but has now returned to Great Yarmouth.
