19115 is running with the number 11570 on the nearside skirt panel next to the rear wheel. I assumed it had been repaired with a panel off another bus, but it seems there never has been an 11570....odd!!

I believe (however someone in the industry may be able to explain better than me!) that some vehicles have a number on the nearside that shows the vehicle's weight? It may well be that

I'm no expert, but I think the vehicle's unladen weight does go on the panel just ahead of the rear wheel, and 11570 kg sounds about right, so that's probably what it is.

I didn't think of that lol. It's in large white fleet number transfers without the kgs lettering, but 11570 would be about right. They must have run out of the normal stickers!!

19211 is back at Hull

19211 is back at Hull

Finally returned after going on loan in September

I see 19501 has gone to Gainsborough also

That might be an error as it’s also tracked in Hull

Looking on tracker 19379 was replaced by 19211 on 4/6 yesterday my source wasn't sure if it's actually back or tracking fault

 

[K13R0N]

19107 (MX07 HMG) has appeared on the fleetlist on bustimes, apparently as a replacement for 16962/65

19383 that was on the Grimsby depot and briefly saw service on the 51 is now tracking in Hull.

10899 is now in service in Grimsby on the 53A. Passed on Victoria St, it is now fully branded and kitted out with all white LEDs similar to 10901

Is there any reason they bother swapping them. They are the same bus basically

 

[psmith2023]

All single deckers on x17 today is this a one off of because of the wind

The X17 (and Chesterfield services) are under Stagecoach Yorkshire.

But to answer your question, yes. There's an exposed section between Walton and Kelstedge making deckers unsafe at the moment.

19379 came back out around 1630 on 1s & 2s and it's out today. Presumably it had a minor fault which required it to go back to depot for a short while

 

[Fox192]

Oh Yh, misunderstood the post I think, thought it meant they sent 19379 out of hull . Also notice 19175 has arrived in Hull , seen it behind station today

 

[CN12 AWU]

19175, 19383 and 19469 are out today in Hull 19501 in Gainsborough

 

[jimbob185]

19175, 19383 and 19469 are out today in Hull 19501 in Gainsborough

Is 19501 definitely in Gainsborough as it is also tracking in Hull depot? Which makes me think that something else is tracking as it in Gainsborough.

19175 must have had an issue as it has ended up back at the depot

19383 is actually 24196

19383 has been seen by my source today it's on 12's all day

19501 hasn't tracked at Hull since last Tuesday

Ok what is tracking as 19383 on bustimes is 24196.

If you look at the tracking of 19501 yesterday on the 367 and the first 595 today on bustimes it jumped between Gainsborough and Hull.

I had it confirmed from 2 sources that 19501 had left Hull replaced by 19211

19383 is back replacing the withdrawn 22755

19175 is here replacing the withdrawn 22635

 

[SteveyBee131]

I can confirm that I've just 'eyeballed' 19383 on a local route in Grimsby, and she is tracking as herself on Bus times map. Either she's quite the wanderer, or someone is having fun setting ticket machines up!

Indeed, and for those who like proof here she is not an hour ago (photo shows 19383 at Riverhead Exchange in Grimsby waiting to depart on service 11, Saturday 25/1/25)

I just sent this to my source who replied "that's the last time I give you info, stick to your depot at Merthyr"

19106 MX07 HMF has now appeared on bustimes' fleet list from Stagecoach South West. Apparently towed to Grimsby yesterday.
19107 as mentioned by @K13R0N yesterday is visible inside the shed at Grimsby; it also appears to have been towed in as the front panel is missing.

Believe both 19106 and 19107 were towed in as they're due a big mechanical overhaul before the Open Top season starts. 19105 is rumoured to be joining but is on the Yorkshire bustimes fleet and is apparently at Chesterfield. 19106/7 are both full open tops!

10738 is apparently out on 12's in full 'we got you' livery with massive logos at rear

Been told it's had a ticket machine swap and currently tracking as 10744 if anyone wants photos of it

I saw it earlier today and momentarily thought it was a loaned bus from another area until I saw the registration.

 

[SteveyBee131]

Good to hear 10738 has finally broken cover. Looking forward to seeing pictures of her in daylight in due course. Speaking of MMC deckers, of the 5 at Grimsby so far, somehow usually only 2 or very occasionally 3 seem to make it into service at once on a day. They've all been out, but never all at once, making tracking them down rather tricky!

For the youngest buses at the depot now, they certainly do seem to struggle for reliability at the moment compared to some of the vehicles they're replacing! Speaking of replacements at Grimsby, 19195/6/200/206/210 are yet to show up from Skegvegas.

There are a few photos on Facebook one on friends of PSV Circle and one on a Stagecoach group regarding 10738

Also on one post says 19639 is in Hull Depot also in new livery

I recall it was stated Gainsborough wanted rid of said MMCs as they were having reliability issues there, hence gained some newer ones from Manchester. They must have amassed some significant miles having spent 7 years on the 100.

There must be some cheesed off drivers and fitters in Grimsby at the moment.
They've received 5 MMCs that look nice but struggle to leave the depot, 3 ex Manchester e400s of which 19533 hasn't run for over a fortnight, and 19207 from Skegness that last worked on the same day as 19533!
Of the acquisitions only 19383,19393 and 19531 seem in any way reliable.
