He's been around for ages, I'm sure Tony mentioned him before somewhere. tbh theres lots of people using Tony's photos, one I've noticed is someone on facebook who goes by the name of "NXWM Buses"

I would think it must be pretty high up the priority list with 6 year E400's and competition from both Diamond & Greenbus

I would also imagine it will help withdraw/cascade Presidents from YW aswell

Problem is, there a few garages that Presidents can now be cascaded to without introducing them to a garage that doesn't currently operate the type

Will Dundee Take any more presidents? I would imagine with a £300 million investment that a fair few garages will have a share in new buses.

Maybe the 11A/C will become a gold corridor?

I'm sure Dundee could always take a few more, but if the 11A/C became a gold corridor with new buses you've suddenly got to find homes for 45+ ex AG Presidents plus potentially those surplus to requirement at YW

They could have a mass clear out of mercs b6s and darts at west brom as at least presidents are dda complaint and particularly the ag ones are in amazing condition interior wise-routes like the 5 could become fully president operated as could the 83 and 48/49 if euro3 buses arent needed on that route anyway. I do think though at some point they will have to be introduced somewhere which doesnt currently operate them such as PN or even wolverhampton??? Though to be fair dundee have a fair few non dda compliant buses to clear out soon so more presidents up there would work. Not 45 of them though  ;)

I think PN is now unlikely, as I would have thought more Tridents will be the order of the day over Presidents

Liverpool Street

Is the 49 not going to serve the Great Park from September? And something about getting curtailed to Northfield again? Anyone confirm? Whilst they're there they could increase the whole service to 15minutes and scrap the 49E.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Which urge to get rid of presidents is this? Must have passed me by lol-a few have gone to dundee to replace non-dda buses other than that i hardly think there has been a big clearout of them-they have just mostly been moved off b'ham city centre routes as they are only euro2 compliant...

YW4355

Starting to see more and more Tridents appearing on 18, 49 and 76 routes.
