It's been inspected at Miller Street, along with YJ10 EYR which may become 327, to see if it is worth purchasing to add to the NXWM training fleet. At the moment those are still owned by the Administrators of ATG

Would NXWM purchase this as it's a non-standard type to the main fleet being East Lancs Myllenium bodied MAN 14.220?

Yes. It's not often a cheap bus comes available with only 75,000 miles on the clock!

They are on NX premises, and as you can see I am able to move them around, by the two being at Miller Street, but they are not formally purchased yet

That's what I was getting at, i.e. they aren't purchased yet - where the July fleet changes says 'acquired with the assets of ATG'

Have they indicated a book/sale price for it yet?

You tell me!?! We don't have access to the same info you do.

I'd assume being from Dawson's they are leased / rentals.

The fleetlist updates / forum posts are contradicting each other.

The MMCs are Dawsons, the 83xx are Mistral. Bus enthusiasts generally record who is 'looking after' a vehicle or who's op disc it Carrie's. Not who owns it as that is generally unknown. For instance all Levantes new from 2011 are owned by various banks

I know the 8354 etc were new to NX ops from Mistral & leased hence their MX regs. I though the fleet changes were based on NX 'official status'.

I.e. the NXWM July changes have allocated them fleetnumbers & says they're acquired, but then on Facebook your posting the following:

Tony Hunter They have not been purchased yet, but I will be moving some of them for inspections to see if they are worth purchasing...

They're either acquired/leased/rented & taken in to fleet or not - i.e. do NX often allcoate fleet numbers to stuff they've not yet bought / added to fleet yet.....?

They are on the list of vehicles NX are responsible for from 1/8/19. Several vehicles still on site, mostly 56 & 07 plate Mercs aren't on that list and are returning to Dawson Rentals.

On a different subject A1001 will make its first appearance next Thursday
