E009 on delivery - goes without saying, but not my photograph ;)

Additionally, E004 was delivered to Yardley Wood today - saw it arriving around 1pm

When I left BC earlier

E001; E002; E003 & E004 were all at YW (E001 will return to BC for additional fitments, one of the other 3 will go to CV for training there to commence)

E006 was at BC with E005 & E007 expected.

In the photo I suspect E009 was heading to BYD's place as it is not due until next week

These buses should be shouting from the rooftops exactly what they are, with a head-turning, bright and dazzling new livery. To achieve anything like that with this as a base is going to take an awful lot of vynil.  :(

I imagine they will have some livery that will plug their electric status to the hilltops.

If the livery is what was posted somewhere on here from a NX financial report, they look great. Yes, there's quite a bit of vinyl, but all branded buses have that. They look classy.

As I've said previously, there could be some good marketing promo stuff if done properly... we have the 'Electric 6' after all, and to celebrate we could have some 'improper dancing' in the 'middle of the street', or specifically the Stratford Road through Hall Green and Shirley...

Or you might just get the dick head mayor of greater Birmingham and a tv crew

To be fair, the current mayor has shown a very pro transport stance since being elected and it is actually nice to see in the press him being so complimentary about NXWM. Usually the politicians love scoring points criticising local transport companies so it makes a refreshing change seeing someone be supportive of what NX are trying to do in the West Midlands.

At 09:40 this morning (Mon 09/03/2020), E009 was going southbound on the M40 at Jct 7 on it's way to BYD Iver for PDI before going back up the M40 to BC.

Seen E001 at Digbeth this morning. The back screen display looks way better on these than the MMCs.

E007 out on training duties, just arriving into Birmingham now; E001 not far behind - at Adderley Street now

Been told of E003 which was sighted in Coventry about an hour ago

Does the upper deck of the electric buses have the same as the ALX 400 B7TLs with two rows of seats in front of the stairs?

Yes
