Title: Does De Courcey still have National Express contracts?
Post by: andymacp on March 28, 2019, 01:13:36 AM
Does De Courcey still have National Express contracts? The reason for asking is that since the National Express operations have been incorporated onto NXWM licence it is using Birmingham Central & Coventry depots to operate contracts from.

Birmingham Central do Jaguar Land Rover Contracts? I didn't think they have they got any NX Public Coach Services as well?

The allocation list shows some National Express Coaches being allocated at the respective depots. I suppose in Central s case you have Digbeth Coach Station on the doorstep

Yes, DeCourcey still runs 28 x NX coaches (mostly from Miller Street) on the NX network.

NXWM also have 7 NX coaches that run on the NX network based at Walsall. (originated from Whittle's Closure)

All of the other NX coach routes that now fall under WMT limited are based at the former NX Ops London depots i.e. Stansted / Luton / Gatwick etc

NXWM BC & NXC depots run former NX coaches & new allover white Levante II coaches on the JLR contract - the majority are all-over white & un lettered / a few retain NX coach branding.

They run the 304 if that helps.
