Is 731 at Perry Barr still as the site states it is but wasn't it a short term loan?

Tony said it is on loan for a few months.
I wander whether it will go back in service at Dundee now, as 732, 733 and 734 are all withdrawn now?

[BK63 YWP]

When did 732-4 get withdrawn?

Oct or Nov

[Tony]

Oct or Nov

They're not actually withdrawn. They are still taxed and MoT'd, just not being used at the moment as the Streetlites are reliable enough for all the minibus requirements

Would NXWM have them off XD?

The SWB E200 are too small for most NXWM services, they might come in handy if NXWM were to win any new TFWM tenders in the April round.

[Tony]

There isn’t that many coming up in this round that NX would need stumpys for. SWB proved no different to LWB except they are smaller so can fit round tighter roads. Plus there isn’t that many tenders in this round, a few of which NX already operate.

A large proportion of potential TfWM tenders the stumpy's could be used on are on tight estate roads etc Those routes are typically spec'd at max vehicle length / capacities which 10.6M 37 seat E200's would be too big for. Routes the likes of Igo / Diamond / Claribels etc typically use Solo's / 8.8m E200's on.

Forgot Oct is typically the main tender changes dependant on the timing of any Network Reviews of course.
