The first of Oxford's second batch of Enviro400 MMC's for Oxford have been reported elsewhere as emstarting to enter service. 10667/670/671 being noted.

12001-13 possibly more are destined for Manchester. Oxford plan to keep 5 for Hospital Park and Ride service 700.

15994-96 are destined for Cumbernauld.

A number of Solo's have moved to to Cumbria too.

Info from Stagecoach News Yahoo group.

P.s. Would it be worth putting a sticky thing on this?

I've done a search and couldn't find the thread I thought I'd started for this operator.

Lovely social media has informed me that S629MKH and S634MKH are on Coventry to Coventry Arena Rugby extras. I assume a cheaper option to locos.

My sister informed me that her shuttle bus, one of the Optare Tempos had a faulty emergency exit door.
Apparently the driver was aware of the fault but just took photos of it and continued with his journey but told people not to sit by it, then it flipped open on the Black Country route.

4370 once upon a time carried a roundel saying it was the 1000th low floor bus bought by TWM.

It came up in conversation a couple of days ago so me and a couple of others have had a go at trying to figure out the 2000th low floor bus bought by TWM/NXWM.

Maybe the sticker/branding man could make one for the milestone vehicle. Remind the passengers where the money goes. Although I would imagine this year it will be 2500.

Our estimates are that said bus could be either 761, 2176, 4912 or 4931. But trying to figure out exact delivery dates, especially during periods where more than one bus type is being delivered at the same time is proving a challenge but something I'll try to figure out when I have the time.

I thought it may be worth a mention in case anybody else could work it out and whether or not they would include ex Dundee vehicles transferred down here.

If anybody does get it then they can have a go at winning something off Bully's Prize board.

This thread is for reporting 'oddities' with NX Bus vehicles - defects, equipment faults, missing branding etc.

Please include the vehicle fleetnumber, this thread is monitored by NX Bus and reported 'oddities' will be noted and corrected.

Irrelevant posts will be removed by moderators to keep the thread 'tidy'.

Continuation of conversation in WB Garage thread.

4741 has a First sticker and I mentioned my slight sadness that 4312 lost a TWM window logo.

The Metros, especially Walsall ones seemed to have had a bob or two spent on them a couple of years before they finished service. As a younger spotter I thought these spruce ups looked good, each was unique.
