4415-4424 should be withdrawn in next few years! There are not reliability and poor reliability. I do know 4419,4420, and 4422 are most time breakdown.   

Yes true, My family visit to my friend house but I don't think my friend doesn't have internet.

Tony! I want you post on fleet changes in July on main site at today till 5pm! After 5pm, I will not back again on site because My family going to Netherlands for Holiday for one week.

I like to visit in France, Spain, and Germany. My plan for save a money before visit to Spain and take a photo of only Bendibuses. I'm no plan take a photo of Double Decker, Single Decker 12m in spain. I'm not interest in local of uk because there are only few bendibuses still have but shame.

TAKE A PHOTO OF BENDY BUSES IN SPAIN!!

1864 on the 94, been a while since I've seen a single decker on there

Kevin, are you sure it was 1864? As I thought this was still at NXC

No! You meaning 1874! 1864 was working on the 16/A or 23 at today! 1867 to Walsall garage for repaint and collect 1678 to CV then replaced 4693 and on the 6/6A.

There is possibly another accident on the X51 this evening.

An articulated lorry and 4125 are at the scene on Birmingham Road close to the junction of Wellington Road (near 'The Bell').
Traffic being diverted down Wellington Road, so could not see if there was any damage.

4125 in service today so certainly not damaged

4129 has large damage in front! due to crash the car and on the X51.

1678 on the 6/6A at today and 4693 replaced.

You have missed out 4224 which is still in TWM/TC livery.

I have 4401-4402 as being in the old livery not NXC colours, unless they've been repainted recently?

Thnx cheers I have changed it.

I thought they would go to a garage (PE,CV or WB) to replace older mercs so makes more sense.

Surely we will only lose a few as we have only had a few B6's from PE

Not entirely sure how accurate this is but I hear 50-60% are leaving us to be replaced with smaller buses. B6s certainly fit that bill 8)

You are correctly! 4693 taken out in service and 1678 back on the 6A with blank display.

11:20am, 1867 with CV engineering ready go to Walsall garage for just repaint to NXWM livery. So there will one last scanias is 1873 but not sure about 1863 nd 1864 expect two of scanias maybe going to Walsall garage in later August.

PB:- 1865-1866, 1868-1871 & 1873-1877 and awaiting for 1867 and 1873.

WA:- 1863 and 1864 but not sure!

1873 in service at Perry Barr today. Red front.

Nooo, 1873 has start service on 28 in last week..

Ok, When Mercs Mark 2 will being to withdrawn?

4197 On the 246 first day in traffic at PE.

3 tridents at PE today, so 246 got at least one merc (1645) on it.

582 still parked at PE.

Maybe 582 awaiting receive a new parts.

I don't think 582 will not withdrawn. If 582 withdrawn there should be truck take 582 to Miller Street.

Based on fleetlist 02/08/13 (not including August changes) the following will be early candidates for withdrawl over the next 2 years (please correct me if I am wrong). Probably some more B6L, B10L and 0405N have gone during July following transfer of Scanias and new BC E400s

In addition it looks like some smaller buses are required to replace remaining B6Ls, Solos and Darts

So I make it 272 vehicles to be replaced by 300 new vehicles so looks like some Presidents   will be canidates for withdrawl   
         
                  WM   Dundee   
B6L                  38      
B10L                  37   15

0405N (1st batch)   60      
0405N (2nd batch)   70      
Solo                  5   9   
Dart                  7      
Spectra                  21      
         
Total                  238   34   272
         
New Orders         
2013                  26     Balance of E400 order      
2014 >June 2015    274   TBC   
         
Total                  300

Don't forget Presidents could start withdrawn in 2014 and Trident Dennis Reg Y will start withdrawn in up to 2015.
