Random question but am I right in thinking that ALL of the pre MMC Enviro 400s NXWM bought are still in service?

Only 4698 (Training Bus) and 4816 (Scrapped) is no longer in service

4816 was not scrapped and is still in service

4816 is 4799 was given a new fleet number after an incident

I always forget 4698. Fairly incredible maintenance to keep a fleet that large intact for so long.

Always used to see 4698 on the 6s. Looked odd with the Rear dest a bit on the right but loved the loud fan

4245 is currently out on the 47.

It's MoT expires tomorrow, so its last day will be either today or tomorrow.

There was a ALX400 in red and white visible from Upper Dean Street on the land that used to be the wholesale market I believe., when I was there earlier.
Presume its one that has been disposed of.

It's a fire service event, so presumably theirs

Back in in Aug 2021, 4633 was at BC and was down for Euro 6 conversion along with 4619 and 4634.

Come Feb/Mar 2022, still non Euro 6 compliant, all three vehicles were dumped into Wolverhampton to avoid paying £50 CAZ charge, some 10 months after NXWM MD David Bradford released a press statement that claimed :

All our buses are Clean Air Zone compliant - we don't get charged the eight pounds, and neither do (our customers).

...in regards to the new Birmingham Clean Air Zone charges coming into force in June 2021 and how this would affect the operator.

Did 4619, 4633 and 4634 receive their planned Euro 6 upgrades while at PL in 2022 – to help meet NXWM emission compliance within Wolverhampton AQPS?
