@Tony are these the design for the electrics minus livery and the ER aspect

Isn't the Enviro 400 ER a diesel/electric hybrid, I thought that the YW ones were to be 100% electric?

Yes, Yardley Wood is getting pure electrics, my post was just commenting on the design the vehicle as Tony said they would not have the glazed staircase but they will be the city bodywork

Thanks @SL 16 YPN for the clarification.

the emergency exit is on the off side in the middle not up the back  that's all I'm saying I like living

No..... the registrations are released before the buses arrive plus 20 plates start from March so the first one will be around then

@Tony if you are allowed to say are there any gas buses coming or more regular platinums later in the year

I'd hazard a guess that most of them haven't started production yet.  ;D

I might be wrong about this, but I believe that once a VIN (vehicle identification number) has been issued/allocated, then a vehicle can be registered.

I've worked in the car parts business for many years, and looked up many vehicle registration numbers using our VRM lookup services, and I can tell you I've seen details of many vehicles where the 'first registered' date is earlier than the 'production date'.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

All are in production, first deliveries less than two weeks away

Correct, registered and date of first taxation are two different things

I stand corrected guys! I don't know how long it takes to put a bus together to be honest, but there was every possibility that some might still be a collection of parts waiting to go on the production line.

But certainly none have arrived at YW garage yet, which was the point I was responding to.  ;)

To save all the asking until they arrive the Hydrogen Streetdecks are going to take fleetnumbers H1001-H1020. No firm delivery date yet, although a couple are built they cannot come until fuelling facilities are available
