It is sort of unusual, YW does have a weird allocation for the 2 and 3 a lot of the time. They put a Scania on the 3 today.

One thing I have noticed a out the new enviros is how the build quality is not as it should be as I noticed on 6137 which had a ebs fault and a egr fault even though it is only a few nonths old......sort it out ADL

dw1308

6134 also has engine issues and egr issues as its on the 50 at the moment in the city centre,  yet again ADL having problems with build quality

Engine issues would be down to cummins as its there engine fitted in the back all this new tech they keep fitting to engines to comply with emissions euro 5 and 6 just a nightmare, my mates tell me the issues with emission related problem that come through his garage daily are a joke. Costly to fix as well.

Ah yeah I completely forgot that tbe engines were cummins units so thanks for reminding me :)

Although the one thing that annoys me is the stairwell is a bit low for me as im over 6 foot tall haha so I have to bend backwards a bit

@Chris Usual allocation on the 6 is Omnilinks with Tridents appearing. The NXWM Google vehicle allocation sheet link is posted on the top of the 'Noteworthy Workings' thread every month for reference
