Post by: D10 on September 20, 2024, 09:05:21 PM
In the latest issue of Buses magazine is the following report in Fleet News:

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC YY24 EKV/W were new in May, these first expected as YX23 OWB/D respectively.

Has anybody seen these? What are these being used for?

They are non-PSV's to replace the second hand converted buses they had.

They are not conventional buses.

These are the new community youth inclusion vehicles - they've been built bespoke to Sandwell Council's spec following a youth and cabinet consultation.
