the 540 from Wigan to Bolton has seen several E400s on daily diagrams recently, previously I've noticed only one daily diagram. This is a good sign as this route is very popular.
According to Merseyside Dennis Dart Gillmoss E400MMC 10549 and 10565 are currently at Rock Ferry whilst 10541 is at Chester,

Now confirmed, courtesy of Steven Knight Media, is an order for 7 Volvo B5TL / Wrightbus part open toppers for the Lakes 599 service / Kendal depot. It is further reported that they will introduce a revised 'LAKE sider' branding for the route.

Great news that Stagecoach are investing in new buses for the 599 rather than chopping a few roofs off older buses.

ADL do not offer an E400MMC Open Top.
Lothian Buses hit the headlines last year when it placed the first order for 30 of Wrightbus new part-open top design. The £6.5m order was designed specifically for Lothians requirements.
With all the temporary changes due to the Merseyrail renewal works X8 branded E300 27776-80 seem to be working away from Chester. I noted 27780 on route 2 Chester-Liverpool on Saturday.
I will be attending a funeral on Tuesday in Chorley, but unfortunately, the only bus service which goes pass, where funeral as be held as withdrawn by stagecoach last weekend. Does anybody know, if another operator as taken-over service 109?
Hi
Just heard that Carlisle maybe loosing some of its solos which are to be replaced by 35xxx's from north east and 36xxx from Scotland seems strange when the solos replaced 36xxx which went to Yorkshire and Plymouth. Can anyone confirm that these are proposed changes or is it just speculation and rumour.
Regards
True, appears to be 6 15 plate Solo's in Dunfermline depot with at least 4 E200's from the 3619x batch as their replacements.
