4615 - 70 ( 14 Branded )

the NX 900 has had 2 upgrades yet the Outer Circle is only just getting the buses it had then back as an "Upgrade"!

Not forgetting the NX 957, 71, 72, 934, 935 and 936
AG's youngest decker is 4679 which is now nearly 11 years old!

That's true, they even had wifi (when it worked), I think they all ended up on the 900/110 in the end though and the 11 had more darts than anything else? My memory is a bit vague but I do remember the ampm 11 went through a dart phase. There's an irony actually in the 5/6 years since, the NX 900 has had 2 upgrades yet the Outer Circle is only just getting the buses it had then back as an "Upgrade"!

We still had the NXWM MCW Metrobus on some 11 journeys in 2010 the last route to ever use them other than the last day towards the end of July. You probably  are correct can't realy remember their darts that well though everything will be the same again except this time without the Metrobus. @trident4370

So basically the 11 once again has tatty darts running on it, things really don't change much do they!

Have to agree their @trident4370 not fogetting AMPM Volvo Olympians and the Metrobus that NXWM used on the 11 school sevices. :)

Would you want to drive past M6 Junction 5 at the moment with all the roadworks?

Thanks @Tony for reminding me about them seemed to be causing quite a lot of trouble on the 28/71/966/67 including a 28E to Erdington but at 9PM? How long will the roadworks last?

Early evening 1900ish so clearly going back to the garage and today Sunday about 1700 hours.

Must be comming back  back from Chelmsley Wood they used to go back through Castle Vale after finishing in Chelmsley Wood @monkeyjoe .

Dundee's native fleet will be done by outside contractors in Scotland and I don't know what order they will be done in

Thanks @Tony read that one was being done on another website.

Two more Presidents heading up in the next couple of weeks as a paintfloat to get more of the native fleet into green

Is 7002 currently being repainted into the Xplore Dundee livery @Tony

A bit of a random question, why have the 94s suddently started using Bromford Rd to get back to the garage. It would make sense if garage short journeys ended at Castle Brom Heathlands Av from Pine Sq, but as far as I am aware you don't get Chelmsley Wood - Castle Brom garage journeys. Is it because the Collector from Chelmsley is too bust with the road works, just curious really.

What time of day are you seeing these 94s using the Bromford Road and where about along the Bromford Road as the last 2 94's of the day terminate at the Fox And Goose that's the easiest way to get back to the garage @monkeyjoe

Think the best best is Stratford for most, there are 3 booked duties of Stratford at 18:15ish, should be two big and a short Streetlite, other than that, wait around Redditch?

They should be on routes in Stratford Upon Avon all day.

The first EX Sunny Travel dart now has it's top primer coat of paint on so will be in the full livery soon.

So no more SPD's on the 11 then, disappointing.

Yeah no more SPD's on the 11 the companies reasons for that are they do not want to put the MPD on the 74 yet incase it's to small and they would prefer not to put the V reg darts on the 74 either because the seats are warn. They will not refurbrish the V reg darts though the seats are warn because they may not stay in the fleet long as planned. @trident4370

Looks like nobody has posted this.
Social Travel have purchased two EX Sunny Travel Darts 563 and 564
So the fleet should look like this once the 74 starts
X183CTG - for the 11C
S301SHB - for the 74
S309SHB - for the 74
V563JBH - for the 11C/Spare Bus ( One of the two unconfirmed yet )
V564JBH - for the 11C/Spare Bus ( One of the two unconfirmed yet )
One will be for the 11C the other for a Spare Bus

Yes there has

Which ones @Tony your fleetlist says the last one delivered was 2229 and that was three weeks ago?

No new MMC for over three weeks now then?
