Seems odd they are stopping buses with Zenobe, is it because the first electrics are becoming unreliable ?

Z4001 was on Carrs Lane 45 minutes ago.

Do we know which of the 20 reg have been withdrawn, and for how long - if they're going into Zenobe reserve are they being de-branded and are the Zenobes taking their place being 6 branded?

I'm fairly sure Tony has said that the contract between Zenobe and NX essentially says that Zenobe must provide X amount of vehicles available for service, hence why there were 8 spares in the first place.

Perhaps this is a rotation to average out usage/mileage of the vehicles, and those that have/are being rotated may end up elsewhere..?

Sorry Tony it was a typo, it should have said seems strange that you are swopping buses with Zenoby is it because they are becoming unreliable as someone has already mentioned there are a number of long term of the road buses in the initial 19.

YW have lost a lot of Tridents. Maybe these new electrics are replacements. Just guesswork.

I think those (and the remaining 5 non Euro 6 Tridents at YW) have been/will be replaced with Euro 6 Tridents ousted from BC by 4881-94 E400s from Coventry.

4628 I think is for Wolves to keep the numbers together.
