Trying not to divert the thread too much here, but what set up does the FK / Former FK E200s have? Is that full aircon or cab air con?
Perhaps the only Air Con vehicles in Cornwall for now will be the P&R Mercs.
Looked at the three at duchy college todayThe 370xx ex Bristol batch should have cab air con. Not sure on the ex Glasgow batch.

They move around quite a bit. There are duties which start and finish at different depots mainly to return the buses to Newquay where most of the maintainance is done.Does anyone know which buses are at which outstation for go Cornwall? I saw a few at Bodmin and Penzance this morning on the outstations. I'm just interested to know which are at which site.
As said they do move around alot but today there has been a few 70 plates out from the Helston depot with a few 70 plate e200mmc and a few e400mmcDoes anyone know which buses are at which outstation for go Cornwall?

I like the ‘old’ Cornwall registration SCV!OTS has today taken delivery of brand new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter RX70 SCV for TfC local services
This is their 7th new delivery and 12th bus in total for TfC work
Indeed, not a bad choice for a Cornish bus!I like the ‘old’ Cornwall registration SCV!
On a Reading plate though.Indeed, not a bad choice for a Cornish bus!

Would make sense then with the 5 Stratas, along with Sprinters WV20 KZK and RX70 SCVRoute One reports that 5 Mellor Strata Ultra 30 seaers have been delivered. https://www.route-one.net/deliveries/ots-takes-five-strong-mellor-strata-ultra-delivery/
Weren’t they temporarily there and now replaced by 70 reg e400mmc?Does anyone know are the ex stagecoach London red e400 with regs starting with sl64, are they to be part of the TfC fleet or for use in Plymouth as a large majority were being used in Cornwall. but they seem to be all Plymouth based now apart from one, and the tfc stickers on the bus have now been replaced with Plymouth City bus ones (looking at recent photos).

This is what I thought but I thought it would be the new e400 mmc but it looks like there is a higher demand for deckers now so I would have thought that some 64 plate e400 would be used in Cornwall as we still have a few yellow flash and Plymouth branded e400 around, also the 06 plate e400 which will need to be converted of they stayThey had stickers saying they are temporary until new buses arrive
Converted to what and why?This is what I thought but I thought it would be the new e400 mmc but it looks like there is a higher demand for deckers now so I would have thought that some 64 plate e400 would be used in Cornwall as we still have a few yellow flash and Plymouth branded e400 around, also the 06 plate e400 which will need to be converted of they stay
They have to be converted to euro 5 / 6 ( can't remember which one) not sure if they are already.Converted to what and why?
Perhaps it’s because the 14 plates are short wheelbase and with dual doors, they are of lower capacity?
They are already Euro VI. A few Euro VI E400s were delivered to London pre-MMC. They're certainly not hybrids.They have to be converted to euro 5 / 6 ( can't remember which one) not sure if they are already.
If I'm right in thinking (might be wrong) the sl64 plate e400 are the pre facelift (well the lights are) and I know the newer facelifted e400s were offer with a new euro 5 engine but with these being 2014 London buses they are likely hybrid with newer euro engines.
I do love the fact that even on the way to do a school run the 30 darts in for diesel! Not even later on in the evening. First time i've seen the 30 in for fuel at Tescos tho at 3pm!
