Enviro 400 19702 weas collected from Bedford this morning and was immediately put into service on arrival into Peterborough. Enviro 400MMC 10880 is also now at Bedford.

Stagecoach North Scotland [Bluebird]

Departures have been Tridents 18000 and 19110 to Stagecoach East Scotland and Volvo B7Rs 53310/35 to Stagecoach North Scotland [Highlands].
Transferred to the Reserve Fleet here are Volvo B9Rs 53607/08 and Optare Solos 47178 and 47578 along with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 44023. Optare Solo 47602 has transferred from Macduff to Peterhead with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 44024 moving from Elgin to Macduff.
Enviro 400MMC Smart Hybrids back at Macduff are 11164/65/67/68 from Aberdeen and 11161/62/75 from Elgin.
Volvos 16973/74/75/77 are now at Insch with 16945/46/47/48 at Stonehaven.
Enviro 400 19375 moved from Aberdeen to Macduff and was then subsequently transferred to Peterhead. Enviro 400 19213 is a transfer from Peterhead to Aberdeen with 19369.74/78 and 19542 now at Aberdeen from Stonehaven. Stonehaven has also lost 19376 to Insch.

Stagecoach East
Now back at Fenstanton after a period on loan to Bedford is Volvo B8R/MCV 21367, whilst Volvo B7RLE 21223, which returned to service last week, has been repainted into the all over Ocean Green livery.

​Following the return to service of some of the Volvo B11R/Plaxton elite coaches at Bedford, which are generally being used on the 99 Milton Keynes-Luton Airport service, means that some of the Volvo B7RLE, Volvo B8RLE and MCV-bodied Volvo saloons on loan from Fenstanton for the X5 and 99 services are now seeing use on other Bedford-operated routes.

​The tri-axle Enviro 400XLBs will no longer operate on the Huntingdon-Peterborough route from next week, when it is split from the main Busway network. 13901-12 will be dedicated to the Busway B service linking Hinchinbrooke Hospital with Huntingdon, St Ives, Cambridge North Station and Cambridge. 

The new 905 Bedford-Cambridge service is set to be worked by Enviro 400MMCs. With 11279/80 already at Bedford look out for the transfer of 10874-10881 from Peterborough to Bedford over the coming days. Our best guess is that they will be replaced at Peterborough by Enviro 400s from Bedford depot and our crystal ball is suggesting that 19698 along with 19700/01/02/03/04/05/06 are the vehicles that are likely to be transferred. All of them were new to Peterborough transferring to Bedford depot when the fleet of Enviro 400MMCs were new to Peterborough. 
As more changes take place this weekend, to restore services nearer to pre-COVID levels, we would expect to see further Enviro 200s and Enviro 300s returned to service here.

​Enviro 200s 36013/45 are now back here after training vehicle conversion work at ADL Harlow and have been allocated to Bedford. The other three Enviro 200 training buses, 36011, 36309 and 36310 are currently based at Cambridge.
