There isn't much compatibility with a standard E300 at all minus the usual stuff such as cab parts and the front/rear fibreglass parts etc. The Enviro350H is a completely different chassis and the interior is also completely different. The flat floor design also means it's impossible to convert them to diesel as there would be nowhere for the drivetrain to go.
Revised Single and Return Fares from 2nd April 2023
Revised Day, 7, 28 Day and Flexi 5 from 2nd April 2023
My day ticket price is up by £1, which is 15%. That's on top of the previous £1 increase the last time fares went up.

I have purchased a zone A for £5.20 within the last couple of weeks.
I assume it is the zone B that will be cheaper for you.
Zones - Grasshopperpass
From commuting to and from work (or uni/college) to getting out and about in the beautiful outdoors GrassHOPPER makes the process so simple
Yes you are right, IIRC it still showed the old numbered zones in Jan this year, rather than the new and simplified letter zones as I was still asking for zone 1 rather than zone A.
Forgot about the Grasshopper, thanks. Still not entirely up to date - the official site only names First and Stagecoach then all other operators, without naming them. The page on the first site has MW Nicoll as one of the other operators and they haven't been in business for at least a year!
And the previous website had a list of operators many of which don't operate services!
At one time Stagecoach ran the Grasshopper website, nowadays it is run by Aberdeenshire council. I guess they aren't exactly wanting to draw attention to something that (currently) undercuts their own fares!
Prices will increase on Sunday 2nd April 2023 as shown below:
ZONE A
Adult Day – £5.20 to £5.60
Adult Week – £24.00 to £25.80
Student Day – £4.50 to £4.80
Student Week – £19.50 to £21.10
ZONE B
Adult Day – £8.00 to £9.60
Adult Week – £26.80 to £32.00
Student Day – £6.50 to £7.50
Student Week – £22.00 to £24.00
I fairness Zone B is just going back to the price the equivalent former Zone 3 was prior to the changes last last year. The main increases are to Zones A and Zones C which have gone from £4.75 to £5.60 and £17.20 to £18.50 respectively since 2021.

Ignoring what's in the press release - does this indicate that the council have successfully called the operators bluff?Stagecoach have confirmed they intend to continue operating the Lochside Academy Services 21A, 22A & 22B on a commercial basis following Aberdeen City Council axing funding.

The services were planned to end on April 17 before parents raised concerns.
Doesn’t seem to be enough for Highland to get the drivers it needs.
All the 2011 Panthers were sold or Scrapped apart from one 53628 CSU920 . They now mainly use Volvo B13RT Plaxton Panther 2 54131 X99HSO & 54134 X99HCB Sometimes YX63NGO/NGG are used.
53641/43 are still in use at Peterhead with 53645 at Elgin. Although they're unlikely to be around much longer.
Sorry I was referring to the Highland ones. I think there are more down south - most of our ones were SV11 plates.
Yea I believe 4 were Scrapped including the " Cursed " Bus 53621 SV11FFR.
53621 had over 5 ditching's; that why it was called Cursed.
If i'm not mistaken 53623 is at Moffat, although i'm not sure if it's actually seen any use as it's still in Citylink livery iirc.
12 years isn't young for a coach, and those Panthers were and are pretty knackered.
