Ok thanks. By the way I haven't read every message of every section of this forum so there are of course some things that have been mentioned that I haven't seen.

The livery it carries will tell you far more than the display. Especially as that one has been vinyled up in full.

Couldn't quite see the livery due to cars surrounding the vehicle unfortunately.

When electric chargers are fitted at garages, how many are actually needed? Is it one per bus? So when YW had 20 delivered did they need 20 chargers installed? Same with CV and PB.

Ideally, yes, so each bus in the garage overnight is charged ready for the morning peak, but some buses will always be under maintenance, so it's not quite 100% that's neede

Exactly my point, you could have looked at the main site & would have seen it was in NXWM livery, that's why Tony spends so much of his time taking & uploading photos etc

Well unfortunately for you, my first thought wasn't to check the main site. I'm sorry if that affected you so much.

Maybe it should be next time then.

If you saw the blinds you would have seen lots of red, not blue livery, the whole of the panel around the destination is red

Unfortunately I only saw the back display of the bus. I will make an effort to check the main site before posting again though 👍

How did you know it was E167?

On the red livery which you claim you didn't see

Are these deliveries, garage upgrades instead of route upgrades?
it'll take till one garage' fleet is replaced then onto the next garage. Instead of some here for these routes some there for them?

I'm sorry, but I don't really pay attention to the fine details of a bus when i'm focusing on the road. I saw E167 on a back of a black bus, with the back display showing nxcoventry. Clearly the red wasn't very noticeable or I would've seen it!
