404 kicked off the Enviro 400 City era, working the 0700 14 from Fleetwood to Mereside. All ten of the new buses entered service today on the 14, though by late afternoon one Trident was noted too.
The new buses will operate on the 9/9A Monday to Saturday (9 buses required) and on the 14 on Sunday (10 buses required) when Citaros cover the 9/9A.
Solos 277, 278, 279, 284 and Olympians 374-379 are withdrawn as a result - Excel 224 and Solo 285 have been parked up over the last year without replacement.
