Thank you must have read it wrong somewhere.

There was atleast 3 in depot yesterday

They are to enter service on routes 310 and 63 apparently.

I can understand them being used on the 310 but the 63 requires deckers during term time. Surely it would make more sense to use them on the 345.

Don't want to outright confirm this myself but four Evoras at the time of writing this are tracking on the 63 and 310 respectively, 3193 (KLC) being one of them.

Can someone confirm the fleet numbers and registrations for the vehicles please?

Edit: A majority are just tracking from depot so likely just a ticket machine setup, but KMJ is tracking on the 63 so I'll go take a look.

3195 is definitely on the 63.

7 would go on the 310 with 2 out of 5 63s also being Evoras, if all 9 go out. The 345 interworks with the 55 and 58 and is a PVR of 10. I think the idea is to have them on 2 specific routes whilst drivers get used to them. However due to the depot layout and where the Evoras were parked this morning, not all 310s managed to be Evoras, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them on other routes as tends to happen with any batch of buses everywhere.
