The 19th March 2014 press release stated
"Bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) has signed a £100m deal to produce 600 vehicles for National Express over the next five years.
The vehicles, which will be a mix of double deck and midi buses, will join National Express's fleets in the West Midlands and Dundee."

So I make it 569 ADL buses delivered/ on order over 6 years since the announcement:

2014: 100 x E400 & E200
2015: 171 x E400MMC & E200MMC
2016: 96 x E400 MMC
2017: 38 x E400 MMC
2018: 89 x E400 MMC (includes 14 for Dundee)
2019: 75 x E400 MMC
Wright bus also delivered 5 X streetdeck and 5 x streetlite over this time period

in addition i believe 30 x ADL/BYD EnviroXXX are on order for YW & CV taking the total to 599 ADL products

With the addition of 119L to the NXWM heritage fleet. Does any one have a list of preserved pre WMPTE municipal & Midland Red, WMPTE, West Midlands Travel and NXWM preserved vehicles?

I assume AG will get some ex PB crimson Gemini's when the route 16 platinums arrive

Transfer to Dundee or Coventry?

Why all the ex YW 61xx at BC?

Great news, I remember these new at PL, so modern compared to all the half gab Guys
I think this went into preservation early 1990s but not seen for many years

What happened to 4543?

The 4th heritage bus has to be a WMPTE standard MCW, Park Royal fleetline.
Fleetlines were the backbone of the fleet in the 70s and 80s and outside London WMPTE had the biggest fleet.
What happened to 4133?

So September moves look like a PVR reduction at BC allowing some CV Y reg tridents to be withdrawn

What about 1934?

What happened to these orders?
10 x Wrights HEV96 gyro drive Hybrids
19 x Electric buses
22 x Fuel Cell in 2018.

There are a lot of transfers out of YW
Do they have a PVR reduction?

Hello Tony
I did not see the E200 transfers in the January update

Hello Tony

Thank you for all your hard work maintaing the website and kerping everyone up to date.

I assume AG are receiving these Volvo ALX 400s to cascade some Gemini's to Dundee to see off the last Presidents?

Coventry to replace artics for at least 10
