Current new vehicle order

[Squiz1971]

I laugh when I see people complaining about the dominance of one of the current vehicle types. I would love to see them at the time when if you weren't on a Metrobus you were on a Fleetline and if you weren't on a National you were on a lynx! (Unless you lived in Wolverhampton and you had a chance of a Volvo.)

I agree I was around when it was just fleetlines DD & SD. AEC swifts for the other SD as well as Nationals Mk1 & 2 before Metrobuses, Lynxes started rolling out. To me whatever buses TfWM/NXWM roll out this year will make for an interesting year for deliveries. I can't wait for these new hybrids & electric buses to come into service in/by 2018

What are peoples views on the E400MMC City ? I was under the assumption these were only for London although I believe Blackpool operate a few so whose NX ain't at least considering them ? I don't like the asymmetrical design although it looks better on a decker. A bit of variety ain't a bad thing.

Doubt NX would consider them; what a surprise it would be if they did. The design of the bus, with its nearside staircase glazing, wouldn't accommodate for the T shaped adverts - which is why I believe the existing Streetdecks lack them.

Perhaps it comes without staircase glazing. I rather like the curvy front.

I would think that as well. If the Streetdecks don't have them despite other operators choosing to retain them, I'm sure ADL could modify them accordingly.

No, looks like the e20-0 MMC - Like its had a stroke

Blackpool have ten currently and have ordered twenty five more for delivery during this year.

I would like to see some more Hybrid buses for BC so that the Harborne routes can all be Hybrid, at the moment it's a bit of a mix and match.
