EDIT: As of now, all new Stagecoach vehicles will be delivered with e-leather seating EDIT2: The rest of the Gilmoss order (bar 10551) are as followed: 10536 SN16 ONA 10537 SN16 ONB 10538 SN16 ONC 10539 SN16 OND 10540 SN16 ONF 10541 SN16 ONG 10542 SN16 ONH 10543 SN16 ONJ 10544 SN16 ONK 10545 SN16 ONL 10546 SN16 ONM 10547 SN16 ONO 10548 SN16 ONP 10549 SN16 ONR 10550 SN16 ONS RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Tamesider - 16 Apr 2016 As we know, fulll details of the 2016/7 order have yet to be released. However, I have heard three comments about Manchester - two from reliable sources, and all three are very similar to each other. Suffice to say, that further substantial investment is expected over the Summer. This would fit in with aspirations to have only Euro4 or better buses running on or near to the various Quality Bus Corridors by the time the Oxford Road corridor down to Manchester Royal Infirmary is completed towards the end of the year. This is a voluntary scheme (broadly similar to London's LEZ) which will take in the full Guided Busway route from Leigh/Atherton through Salford, Manchester city centre and along Oxford Road. Based on long established routes the latter will effectively extend beyond MRI through Fallowfield to Withington and into Didsbury. It will also incorporate the Rochdale Road corridor from Middleton through North Manchester, into Piccadilly and along Portland Street. For those that don't know, this scheme is the reason for MagicBus operations receiving early Euro4 E400s (as against Euro3s), as well as 6 re-engined ex LOndon Tridents from Gillmoss RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Kuyoyo - 17 Apr 2016 Further details now confirmed elsewhere:

RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - L469 YVK - 17 Apr 2016 (17 Apr 2016, 4:29 pm)Kuyoyo Further details now confirmed elsewhere: Do you think that the Scania chassis on the E400MMC bodywork will be the last 'heavy duty' decker to be produced on the market? Not dissing Streetdecks or ADL Integrals for that matter as particularly the later have proven themselves more than capable if well looked after and so should the former overtime.

I would now be amazed if Scania sell many Euro6 vehicles. See below for the reason regarding why there's no Scanias on order this year mbonwick (source: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showpost.php?p='2527602&postcount=30) Scania are not flavour of the year - they refuse to fit electric cooling fans (instead insisting on belt driven ones) and were making noises about the modification program last year invalidating warranties. Plus Stagecoach were unwilling to keep paying for an external contractor to modify them.

See below for the reason regarding why there's no Scanias on order this year Just read the point, couldn't open the link but totally agree. I do think it should be down to the operator as to whether or not they want the fan belt on constantly. Wonder if Stagecoach would consider using ZF Ecolife Gearboxes (same as Arriva) for their interurban / rural routes though for any future orders. RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Tom - 17 Apr 2016 I think some of the buses will be for the Lakes 555 as they are due a upgrade. So will be interesting to see if they get E400MMCs how they cope.

Stagecoach have a long standing partnership with Voith so I doubt any ZFs will be in the Integral orders. ZFs work better with the Cummins ISBe compared to Voiths though.

Got to bear in mind that whilst Stagecoach have a good partnership with Voith, then unless Scania clean up their act and tailor the needs of the new N250UD to Stagecoach, then a ZF Gearbox coupled with a Cummins ISBe engine would be better suited to the interurban type of work that a Scania would traditionally be used for and therefore, Voith wouldn't lose out on any trade as the ADL E400s with the Scania chassis / engine already have ZF Ecomat (Ecolife MMC onwards) gearboxes fitted. Voith gearboxes are more suited to being s**t of the mark around towns and cities whereas the ZF Gearbox is desgined to give a more smooth and continuous power delivery. RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Kuyoyo - 18 Apr 2016 The last of the 'Coasthopper' E200MMCs at Falkirk ald263 by Gordon Scott, on Flickr As you can see, it looks like all new vehicles will be delivered with the high-back Lazzerini Pratico 3840 seating. RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Ebs - 20 Apr 2016 (18 Apr 2016, 9:43 pm)Kuyoyo The last of the 'Coasthopper' E200MMCs at Falkirk If this is indeed the last one, it hasn't left Falkirk yet, as one in this livery was still there this evening, albeit it did look like it was getting ready to depart. RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Ebs - 20 Apr 2016 At Alexander Dennis, Falkirk this evening were a number of Stagecoach E400MMCs, one of which was: SN16OMY Given the reported registrations so far, i assume this is one of the last for Glasgow? RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Michael - 24 Apr 2016 As mentioned in the Stagecoach Latest thread - April 2016: mrnuts comment: I'd have a guess that the decision to transfer it will be because of the new buses that are expected for Walkergate and would've been a bus that was transferred away if it had returned. http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=1755&page=6 It seems Walkergate are expected to get new buses with this order. RE: Stagecoach 2016/2017 order - Andreos1 - 24 Apr 2016 It appears Leamington Spa have some TfL deckers in the yard. No idea if these are staying put and replacing step entrance deckers or are for something/somewhere else. I am guessing they have been released from London due to arrivals down there.

Are they examples of the ones that Stagecoach have been purchasing via Ensign for spares? Other ones have appeared in Portsmouth and in Rugby.

Other ones have appeared in Portsmouth and in Rugby. No idea. Saw them from the train window and was unable to get reg details or fleet numbers unfortunately. I noted 2 or 3. Some were parked backing on to the tracks and there was at least one inside the depot buildings.
