In July 2016 it was announced that NXWM would get funding for 10 hybrid and 19 electric buses and Birmingham City Council would get funding for 22 hydrogen fuel cell buses. The fuel cell buses have recently been mentioned in the local press but what has happened to the others. Tony has confirmed that the Enviros about to be delivered are funded by. NXWM.

If the 38 new Hybrid Platinums are to be fully funded by NXWM, what has happened to the 10 Wrightbus HEV's promised, which were to be part funded by the Government, by NXWM in the July 26th issue of Coach and Bus weekly, for delivery in 2017.

2236 is on AG73.

I follow that Adam, thank you but 6013 and 6019 haven't been in service for sometime, although not yet officially withdrawn.

From my observations and reading posts on this subject 6014, 6015, 6018, 6020 and 6021 have the new ticket machines. Have any others been seen with them? I don't get to Coventry very often.

R K Travel were using a white Dart MPD today, showing route 72 on a digital destination. I couldn't see the registration very well, as I was driving, but it was something like KYZ 7298.

Bus no 08 was on the 11A today. I think the registration was NA 52 AXN, but am not sure. It was all white.

6704 - 37.

6015, 6018, 6020, 6021, 4212, 4423, 4453 and 4454 on the 4 today. I travelled on 6015 and 6018, both of which had the new ticket machines. 6013 was parked behind the garage with a red sticker on the windscreen.

Thanks Tony for a very interesting list, it answers a lot of questions. Two vehicles not mentioned 4192 and 4201. These have been reported as having problems. Have they been withdrawn?

Looking at the 4th June 2017 Solihull area Network map the 71E and 72 appear to be the same route. Are R K Travel reducing their service to one vehicle or am I missing something?

6703 on the 73.Should be 0943 from Heartlands.

Reported on the Dundee bus forum all of their 10 Presidents were in service today.

Outer Circle branded 4521 on the 73 all day today.

4510 0n X12 this afternoon.
