Why is 630 still off the road, it can't take this long to replace/overhaul an engine

Talking of shortage of buses. New arrivals are ex uno Enviro 200 YX67 UYB &  YX67 UYA which are apparently new purchases for Chaserider and won't be transfered

Ex Uno as they have shut their Northampton operations down.

Engine is being done next week

Have they had to save up over the last 4 months to pay for it

You cannot just go and get an engine off the shelf at the moment unfortunately.

Along with many other vehicle parts there is an 'order time'.

NXWM 6724 has been off the road since September last year purely 'waiting parts' which finally arrived at the beginning of the week and it will hopefully be ready for a return to service tomorrow

Arent they coming to end of life surely? Theyve never had an internal refurb, nx's newer ones are on their 2nd. I think two of em have already been scrapped

The plan is too eventually withdraw them but sadly its getting the money to replace them.  Only 2 they are keeping for a long while is 192 and 625

Hopefully they replace em with some heavyweights suited to longer distance stuff even 2nd hand

There is now a white Metro city sitting in the delta way yard. Unknown why its there or if it is for Chaserider or D&G

On the Staffs website it says Chaserider is to get new electric buses for the 74 & Select to get new buses for the 875 

[Westy]

They seem to have enough trouble with diesels, without adding another power source into the mix!
