Wolverhampton Garage

in reply to my comment, it wouldnt suprise me if nxwm took the 9 b5h's to bc, and transferred tridents over to replace them (aka older stuff)

No its 5510-18 from WN-BC with WN having 5401-09 in exchange

Is there a particular reason why they are being swapped now?

Possibly to reduce the type's operating at WN? :-\

although ive never driven either of these, i always have a soft spot for volvo buses/coaches (b6 excluded lol) however i think the b5h's would have been better with a different gearbox. however the drivers ive chatted with hate them and prefer the adl.

Personally as a passenger Ive always preferred the E400H it looks better and feels smoother, Ill be sad to see them leave Birmingham.

I'd have thought that's the main reason for both garages. In addition with NXWM now committed to ADL products for the foreseeable, and therefore the type of Hybrid future purchases (if there are to be any) decided, would there still be a need to evaluate these side by side on common routes?

Wolverhampton getting the higher capacity vehicles then.

Are you sure. Might be just being re branded?

Well we've heard it from the horse's mouth now BN. Not that I'm calling Tony a horse but you know what I mean.

So just going on speculation, if the E400Hs go from BC to WV, then some new E400s to wolves as well to directly replace mercs?

As I say, just speculation, that's what seems to be the norm whenever someone posts clues on here :)
