Noted all white Mercs RJ74EYH/Y in the yard in Leicester today

Presumably these are for FoxConnect, so that all the loaned minibuses from Grantham can be returned

Yes, that is correct, Roger French mentioned this in his recent blog:

Correct: RJ74 EYH and RJ74 EYV.

I did wonder though, if they don't enter service prior to March 1st, whether they could end up as 25-plates.

I don't think so, as they are already registered. That usually happens when a vehicle has been allocated a plate but isn't officially registered with DVLA until after the rollover date.

Generally, yes, but not exclusively. Back in the day, a number of LCT's Dennis Dominators (205, 206 & 226-230) were registered with V suffixes before actually ending up as W-regs.

These are officially registered, first MOT due 20/01/2026
RFL due 01/02/2026

Correct: RJ74 EYH and RJ74 EYV.

Still parked in the alley way between the 2 yards
