Four of the recently transferred ADL Enviro 400s from Stagecoach Yorkshire to Stagecoach South East (19654/56/62/68) are now in service at Eastbourne with 19655 expected to enter service imminently. ADL Enviro 300s 27517/18/19/21/22 have all been reported as being in service at Eastbourne, which suggests that 27575/77/78/79/80/82 may soon be prepared for transfer elsewhere within the company.
Stagecoach East has confirmed that a number of Cambridge-based Tridents, which will be displaced from Ely/Newmarket services when the cascaded ex-Busway Scania/Enviro 400s enter service, will temporarily be based at the former Norfolk Green operation at King’s Lynn. It is expected they will allow a number of Optare Spectras to be withdrawn.
