Do you know if Grimsby collected any MMCs today?
Believe it was the plan for it today aye. I saw a post in the bustimes.org discord from someone who I believe is a Grimsby driver said they would be collected today. It's about a 6 hour trip so it could be a late one.

From what I've read on Facebook the B7RLEs are now on borrowed time

From what I've read on Facebook this morning (21/4/25), I believe the MMCs have been collected but are not at Grimsby yet, presumably as there is probably a lack of space for them today. A swap of vehicles is due to occur within the week to get them here, although what is being swapped I do not know. I would expect the MMCs are probably at Scunny for the time being.

That makes sense, I've been past the garage again this morning and the MMCs are not there, but as you say the only space available is from the buses that are out on the road.
19195 has arrived from Skegness and is in the rear yard behind 21273.

I have heard that they are currently at Hull

I know they've been gone for a while but what happened to the MMC400s that used to be allocated to Worksop and why were they transferred out? Also seems a number of ex Manchester E400s are now allocated to Worksop Depot including a couple that have still got overall adverts fitted.

Does the Sherwood Arrow services ever get deckers allocated or is it mainly operated with single decks these days?

10664/5/6 are still allocated to Worksop, 2 of them are out today so they're still in use there :)

bustimes.org indicating a raft of service changes in North East Lincolnshire from 1st June with pretty much every service impacted. No details on what new timetables, routes etc are but I'll summarise findings below:

Amended route & timetable: 1,2 & 20; 4, 5, 9 & 10, 11, 12, 50, 53 (towards Mkt Rasen from Grimsby), 250 (towards Barton from Grimsby)
Amended registration to improve punctuality: 6, 7, 8, 53 (towards Mkt Rasen from Lincoln)
Amended registration to amend timetable: 250 (towards Hull from Barton)
No clear change: 3

Will update if/when the changes are on bustimes or in the public domain.
