Stagecoach 31943 V143MAK (Read 268 times)

I just wondered if anyone had seen the above vehicle in service anywhere recently. It moved to Holbrook in Jan/Feb along with 31935-8 but apart from the first few days after it arrived I've seen no sign since.

I just wondered if anyone knew if it was VOR at Holbrook, in reserve like R442THL, has returned to Huddersfield, or have I just kept missing it?

I think it may be running in Huddersfield as some of Huddersfield's b6's are in Barnsley!

Thanks for that !
On a similar note, are 31935/7/8 likely to get any sort of proper blinds any time soon? They don't look great as they are at the moment with lime green panels on the Shafton rollers for the destination. I assume Holbrook haven't got rollers that are suitable so they will eventually get LEDs, I know one has a stuck number reel anyway and just displays *20.

I thought 31943 was still in Sheffield?

I know 31944 as remained in Barnsley since 31943 departed for Sheffield last month.

I think 31944 is certainly still at Huddersfield.
I guess 31943 is probably allocated on paper at Holbrook still, but I haven't seen it in service in Sheffield since just after it was transfered over, so it's either been broken, or has gone back to Huddersfield/elsewhere on loan or even permenantly as gct15513 suggested.

Does anybody know when Stagecoach Sheffield's 31935, 31937 and 31938 will receive new LED displays?

These may be returning to Barnsley very soon due to the new Enviro 300's due for Holbrook, so I would guess not in the near future as they currently have Barnsley roller blinds in.

I think they actually have Shfton rollers in, I know I have spotted Upton on the edge of the lime green blank a few times!

There are a few in reserve.
