Thanks, looks Like Ensign are disposing their non Euro 6 compliant vehicles due to the expansion of the London ULEZ zone

I presume these are to replace 271-275 which are heading for the scrapyard I’m being told

No, as far as I know the Enviro300s are staying. I'm told they are to replace 4 Wright bodied Volvo B7RLEs

I was told that because the 300s aren’t the best wheelchair accessible that they was going for scrap, whether or not this is true I don’t know

There was a plan to repaint them into the new colours but it got put back when Covid struck

A 5th ADL Enviro200 due is LJ09 KPN (284). The others will be 285-8.

797 now complete in EastRider livery for the service 55 running from Elloughton depot.

394 is back at Anlaby Road, awaiting in the paint shop. The interior has completely changed so some will think it’s a brand new vehicle.

Wondering what fleet number this will inherit, maybe 695 or 816 depending on what sort of B5 it is

I've PM'd you, not sure how much I can say publicly at the moment as there's not been an official announcement from EY about this vehicle yet.

394 is being painted in orange for the 350 service

 

[Eyersey468]

284 arrived yesterday, it is ex Arriva London

Does anyone know what's going on with the Gemini 3 yet, or is it still under wraps?

They seem very young to go. They are 14 years old so surely they could be sold on to Ensign Sales?

This coming Wednesday (28th April), BBC1 is screening an episode of "Dom Digs In" - this is your standard TV presenter spends a bit of time discovering that there are harder jobs out there than reading to camera. On Wednesday at 11:00, Dominic Littlewood will be with East Yorkshire: "Can he hack it alongside the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our most popular form of public transport moving?".

Drawing it to your attention, as the bus seldom gets much positive exposure in the media.

Was that the "On the Yorkshire Buses" series (I think that's what it was called) that was broadcast on Channel 5?

That's the one, what annoyed us was a) the way it was edited and b) the fact the outer depots barely got a mention, it was all about Hull and Scarborough seafront with the exception of a certain driver getting lost on the 143
