More of the Scania levante 3A as BV74 models been added, they would look amazing seen brand new

Have all the Boa Vista's been withdrawn now and if so what happened to them all

3 of the Levante Boa vistas is still on the NX bus org fleet list are they being withdrawn too?

[a4 funcool 2022]

Whats happening to the 2 old Volvo B9R levante in the National Express coach fleet?
Will they still run in service?

[Mayfield]

I see NX have retained Stansted airport contracts.

Route 400, why do I often see this using the M1 or the M40, is it the drivers choice

Yes, completely driver's choice unless it's due to call at Golders Green.

I generally chose the M1 but most other drivers tend to prefer the M40.

I have left Victoria at the same time as a duplicate, we have used different motorways and still arrived in Digbeth within 2 minutes of each other

Do you use the likes of Goggle maps that give live traffic info

Do you use the likes of Goggle maps that give live traffic info

If there's a problem when you set off from either end staff at the coach stations will tell you to avoid a particular route.

NX have relented on SatNavs now and you are allowed to use specialist large vehicle ones, but I'm old school and don't use one, but I know the way coming off the M1 at every single junction, one of the reasons that's my preferred route.

I'm driving a minibus to Scarborough next Tuesday. I know at least 10 different ways so as long as the warning signs on the A38/M1/M18/M62/A614, my preferred route are working to warn me of any problems in advance I won't have a problem

That's O.K. when you set off but accidents happen all the time, I do 1500 miles a week to any part of U.K. and would not be without Google maps but admire you for not using one.

Electronic devices, other than company approved SatNavs are not allowed in the cabs of any NX vehicles, so you cannot use google maps other than at stops.

The NX owned coach ops are difficult to keep up with but from various things I have access to I believe I am fairly close with the lists below:-

Coaches running on National Express & Woods O-licences
NX Coach fleet

Buses running on the National Express O-licenses
National Express West Midlands f

Vehicles currently running on NETS O-licenses
NETS

Thanks for updating the above fleetlists! 

Just a couple of amendments as follows:

NETS fleetlist:

57-21 BV19YKE needs to be removed, as it is now numbered 449 on the NX coaches fleetlist @ Wandsworth (i.e. listed twice)

NX Coach Fleet:

389 YS17UFL has left the fleet & is for sale at Bus & Coach Centre, Oxford

https://www.busandcoachcentre.co.uk/info/1345993/used-irizar-i8-ad3-12-9-ad3-automatic-for-sale

I'm assuming 56-18 BV66WOY & 56-19 BV67JYH still showing as at Woods, Wigston on Bustimes, are long gone.
