Manchester are now getting 10504-9.

Addition to the 2015/2016 order. Not sure when they will be delivered considering 10488-503 are being delivered before 10463-87 yet they were ordered months after those.

I'm assuming all the older Tridents drafted in at the start of the takeover by Stagecoach will leave, although it will be interesting to see what will happen to the newer '04' examples recently transferred from Torbay. Also 5 E200MMC's are due, 26034-8 which are also for park & ride duties.

Cannot find a 'Stagecoach Enthusiasts' group on Facebook - is it hidden?

Yes, the owners have set it as a secret group.

Nearly all the older Tridents cascaded into Plymouth are now up for disposal, they being 17002/5/6/10/11/38/51/289/90/4/5/7/9/329/30/7/670, plus local cascades 17055-8 from Torbay as a result of the delivery of 26034-8/10457-62/88-503, although the E400MMC's aren't seeing service on the 3 to Dartmouth as of yet which is in the hands of the '04' plate Tridents transferred from Torbay, I believe it's due to roadworks somewhere along the route. All the hired First vehicles should have returned to First by now. As for the old Tridents out of service, a couple are supposed to be heading up to Scotland and another couple are said to be off to Carlisle for spares, but might see some service.

It will be quite a modern progressive operation from Stagecoach in Plymouth now.
By way of an interesting initiative, Stagecoach have launched an express route from Plymouth to Bristol trading as the South West Falcon. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/south-west/fly-the-south-west-falcon?dm_i=7DW,3ZYOT,3N6LK8,EG1QT,1

The launch for the new Scania's on the Hop12 took place yesterday morning on Paignton seafront. I was fortunate enough to be in the area at the time so went along. Took many pics but just these three on Flickr at the moment.....
