Will these e200's be new or cascaded and will they be lwb or swb also are they certainly coming before the end of September

They will be brand new and i hear they are LWB. I was told by several people at WN that they were due at the end of the month but reading Tony's post i don't think they will be hear till September

So they will be 8** fleet no. and THANK GOD I HAVE NO MORE B6'S TO SCHOOL

Yes I heard NX top manager was reading your comments on here so put it on the top of his list to upgrade your local route. I hear he's more then pleased to know you're finally happy and wishes you many happy years of travelling.

oh sorry am i not allowed to be happy about not having a specific type of bus and my local garage and route to be receiving and new set of buses?

Yes you are and that's what ls was saying in his comments

Although I'll give him a week before the 'I want the B6's back' comments are posted... Ugh... E200's *shudder*

That's uncalled for I'll be completely honest here that is extremely rude a forum is there to voice your opinions and the fact every one is entitled to opinions. I posted an OPINION, MY PERSONAL OPINION, you don't have to agree with my opinion but respect it. Hence LS when you post your opinions I may not agree with them but I don't shoot you down. And then to go on and bitch about me It's unbelievable!

I'm not quite sure what your issue is, fella. I'm stating the fact that you might want nice new E200's but they're really not all
that good!

It was just the way you stated it and as you can't convey meaning through text (i.e. you can't show the way you mean something) I took it as if you where taking a dig at me and now you have explained it I understand and will delete my comments.

heard an announcement on bus for drivers to be type trained before end of august as these new e200s will be in use from then.

For the sake of a couple of days, I would delay them being registered/entering in to service & take them as 64 plate from1st Sept onwards

The driver i spoke to the other day said they would be in service "after the August Bank Holiday"

I saw it enter service late this afternoon. Hasn't been on all day.

4001 is on 79's today. Its pretty rare to see a Spectra out on this route on Saturdays

4001 and 4002 were both out on the 79 all day following each other on successive diagrams. Had them both!  ;D

Noticed 4002 coming out of West Brom this afternoon :) You wait for ages for a Spectra to appear on a Saturday 79 and two turns up once :)

The garage note says they will be in service end of August and for use on the 27 28 & 81 and all routes on the weekends

Sorry Typo Note says 27 28 81 (not 82)

They'll make a racket going up Highbridge Road on the 81.

If they struggle on the hill on the 222 by the hospital then imagine what they'll be like coming out of lodge farm, don't know what i'd prefer them on 81 or 82 although they'll probably be on both.

The delivery list I have has no deliveries to Wolverhampton garage in August, information passed to me from someone at West Bromwich who has seen a more recent list also suggests the same

could it be the garage being crafty trying to get drivers all type trained asap (my thinking is due to the school holidays/reduced pvr they have the opportunity to borrow a e200 to train on). this meaning that when buses do arrive, there will be little delay in them going into service

Yes I thought that also!

Wouldn't it have been better to have at least some of the buses in service this week to release some for V festival duties this weekend?

Bit difficult if they are not built
