(29 Jun 2014, 9:35 pm)mb134 So is it about August/September when the Streetlites are expected to be delivered?

Yeah spot on, though the order they get delivered in won't necessarily be the order they enter service, at least in the North East anyway.

Just like GNE's Angels - if I recall 6056 was the last the arrive but it's the first serial number of the batch.

They sure are! 10.8m examples I believe, which should be the same as Durham's.

Two Streetlites have turned up at Arriva Southern Counties for their Gillingham depot, as seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jamesdawki...otostream/

Have asked in the comments of another photo and it appears they are due 12 of these, which takes us closer to completing our order list Smile

Hi everyone

I've updated the top post once again, the deliveries are coming thick and fast now! Things may start to slow down once more with the factories taking their 2 week annual summer holiday, but there is plenty to be keeping up to date with I am sure!

Any Ideas on the Reg Plates of 1551 and 1555, as 1556 is NK14 GGO.

I suspect the delivery of E400's for Midlands might have started as I noticed a new Sapphire E400 on the M1 south bound near J28 around 10.30 on Friday (11th July). I was unable to see registration plates but noticed the LED destination display was showing "Plaxton's".

They certainly have! There was a picture of one on Flickr but the link to it seems not to work which can only suggest that it has been taken down. With the 'Plaxton's' destination, they have registrations beginning with 'YY14 ---' which suggests that they have come from the Plaxton factory at Scarborough.

At least one of the Derby E400's has now arrived, as it can be seen tucked away at the back of the depot, near the rear workshops. The batch are believed to be:

4400 - YY 14 LHD
4401 - YY 14 LHE
4402 - YY 14 LHF
4403 - YY 14 LHG
4404 - YY 14 LHH
4405 - YY 14 LHJ
4406 - YY 14 LHK

This ties in with an earlier post about a YY 14 registered bus having been seen around J28 of the M1.

Deliveries coming thick and fast now! Shires have got their two "extra" E400s and the ones for Gillingham, and Speke (Liverpool) are in the process of delivery. We're also expecting some more Wright Streetlites to start arriving this weekend following Wright's summer holiday too!

Noted at Jesmond today were 2 E400s one of which was NK64 EFM. Presumably for the X18.
Also there were 2 Streetlights neither with reg numbers but one was 1571.
