I expect that 620 will return from Chaserider shortly too

Well, folks, 620 is back! I have spotted it on the 154 this afternoon.

YX68 ULU noted in the yard at Wenlock Way, on 19/09/2024, now in Centrebus livery.

I saw 620 in the yard at Wenlock Way and then again, on Ethel Road, at 2038 hours, working a 22E towards the city centre. Sounds like it had a busy old day!

592 was also out today, dumped on the uni shuttle presumably because the ticket machine wasn't configured correctly in the morning and thus didn't track. Was fixed for the 13:30 journey onwards. Have heard it now has centrebus fleetnames, but cannot confirm this

I clocked it on the uni today (20/09/2024), at 1023 hours, on Victoria Park Road; the 'High Peak' names have definitely given way to 'Centrebus' ones.

I'm a bit surprised they did it this quickly! 729 said high peak on it for months after it transferred

YX68 ULT was noted numbered 5003, at lunchtime today, at the depot.

One would hope that, with the passage of time, bus companies strive to give passengers better experiences by learning from what they have, or haven't, done and improving upon it.

Has anyone worked out the new numbering scheme

Has anyone worked out the new numbering scheme

The first digit is so far the same as the old 3 digit system (2 for minibus, 3 for solo, 5 for enviro, 6 for volvo), and it seems the last 3 digits are sequential for the most part. I'd imagine it's pretty much the same as before, just with an extra digit in the middle.

[Mayfield]

Obvious now you've explained, I just assumed they were going to start new sequences I.E 2001, 3001. 5001 etc

[Magikrabby]

They did start at 1 for High Peak's Solos and D&G's Evoras! Doesn't make much sense why they didn't for the Enviros, but perhaps they are saving 5001 for another vehicle. The probably chose for the minibus to be 2005 to maintain the existing sequence, since they only just started receiving minibuses.

5003 & 5004 (tracking as 902) out today

[Mayfield]

Could you explain to me how you know it's tracking as 902 have you physically seen it or is there something on bus times you can see that I don't know where to look for it

Probably physically seen it. I've seen a couple of pictures of it on the 22 today. There is no way to see if something is mistracking on bustimes
