Electric Buses

[don]

Just a little question, its something that struck me, in time (with Diesel Buses being phased out) will the E prefix be dropped or is it something we have to live with, a brief comparison would be as steam was Phased out D was for Diesel, E was for Electric in time with steam gone, both D & E were dropped, just a question no drama no criticism

'Pedant alert' - only the D was deleted and diesels affected from late 1968 after steam was removed - E remained otherwise there would have been overlaps in the 3001-3200 series and 5000 series. Of course, they all disappeared when the whole fleet was renumbered based on class types.

Sorry if this has been asked previously but regarding any future new vehicle orders are NXWM likely to go for ADL's 2nd generation electric buses or will they stick with the ADL/BYD model?

When you say current NX build, how many are in the order which will be ADL BYDs? 

[Ronnoc]

That's good to hear. The interior on the BYDs are very awkward, 39 seats upstairs for a 10.8m bus is a bit lack luster too.

The current batch being delivered numbers 30.

Up to fleet number E333

Thanks Tony. From your "Up to..." post I think we can assume what the answer to my question is.
