There are photos upthread (I think they were posted!) of almost completed vehicles with blinds, base liveries etc. They have been built quickly.

Yeah I know I've seen them, but it was a little while after the order was announced. Whereas that photo of the shell was shown when the order was announced upon which barely any time would of passed for them to have been that far produced.

The shell in the picture is that of 176.

Both villagers ? I’ve seen a photo of 301 & it looks nice, the logo has lost the animal above it which is a shame.
Yup, not too sure what the other fleet number is though

Is said image in the public domain? I'd like to see if possible
I didn't even know they were animals until just. Looks like the paint was coming off or had been running when it was painted and they didn't fix it. It made me think they looked shabby and not looked after, might be why they don't have it anymore.

Wonder what the registration plates are? Should be in service in a couple of weeks then
YY24 HAA/HAO are the two that arrived

But now there are three.
Add in YY24 HAE as well

302 is YY24 HAE. Ever get the feeling the registrations are going to be spread out? Wonder what body batch these are?
== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: ==
Just think. 29 new ADLs will fit nicely between YY24 GZP area and YY24 HCA area. Maybe they could be more spread out.Add in YY24 HAE as well

738 is currently en-route to download with another few Derby vehicles.
738 is a swift Volvo B7RLE, for those who don’t know it’s very rare for these to stray off route, with them being outstationed

Is it just for tonight or for the whole weekend?
You should see 702. It has a massive scrape down the side. 704 has also had a panel replaced and meaning half the branding is missing.
Interesting that the villager ones are first. Would of thought they would be last given there has been no photos unlike the other brands.

716 mango. 738 swift, 740 villager, 745 X38 & 750 comet. All convoyed up to Donington.
All weekend, but only evenings.
Yeah i was looking through pictures of them and i saw 704 looked the worse out of the 4 (didn't check 740).
Might of been more ready or having work done to them so they could of been starting to get delivered.
Ah, yeah I checked the download timetables and it massively ramps up at night to every 5 minutes on DP1. Makes sense, that'll be the time where they can get most spare vehicles. Wonder what will happen on Monday with its every 5 minute timetable from 5am till 1pm.

I seem to recall that there was a picture of the ADL works yard, where part of two Villager Enviros 200MMCs could be seen. I think they were finished at that point.

I think the 6-week holidays have begun in Derby now (I could be wrong)so that will massively help out as every serviceable vehicle will be used. Notts+Derby also have 5 loans from littles, the 2 LX54 B7TLs, 1 ALX400 & the two ex Trent Barton tempos.

Still got one exam left!
Quite a few weeks until schools end, it's near the end of July
These are due to work Skylink Derby (Kinchbus) I am told. Mango branded 715 is also there from Derby

I agree, if we ensure to clearly reference which company we are referring to and ensure it sticks solely to Wellglade discussion.
Its needed as vehicles move often so we need to discuss them together instead of moving to a Kinchbus thread to, for example, discussing 750 on the Skylink Derby!
The issue is the fleet, staff, ticketing and other topics always cross over each operator, but I fear that the admin isn't as knowledgeable to realise that it's necessary to have it all in one thread, similarly to the Transdev thread, which in fact covers a wider area
As an add on to this trents 748 (Comet) has departed on a Skylink Derby (Kinchbus) duplicate. For some reason bustimes incorrectly lists a few of the buses used tonight as withdrawn, presumably because they're logged into Kinchbus journeys on the ticket machines
Yeah, especially since at the moment, 498(Solo SR), 74 + 73 (Scania K320IB4 Irizar i4) as well as others are being made into loan vehicles which can serve any company within the group. As well with the new Enviro200 mmc's with vehicles changing depots and getting repainted it would get annoying if we cannot really mention a company without the message getting edited or deleted.

some transfers could be happening soon so i would like to keep it entirely wellglade.
Anyone know whats happening to 472? Its not been tracked in service since the end of March and I know there was an event in April or early May where it had a picture of it still in the depot. It still has MOT till the 6th of January 2025, surprisingly taxed till the 1st of June 2025, implying they still are going to use it. I know they are getting withdrawn from trentbarton when the versa's get refurbished. Just wondered if anyone had any information on it?
Does anyone know why Trentbarton's more recent deliveries have Yorkshire registrations? YY is issued in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
TB used to register their buses locally in Nottingham (Forest and Fens) The Scanias and Volvos, for example, had FJ registrations.
