Vehicle Transfers

[Tony]

Just these are in reserve/withdrawn; 4128/4138/4147/4158/4159/4172/4175/4182/4190/4191 to choose from. Unless they are going to resurrect those Scania bendibuses which seems unlikely! Don't know how many Presidents there are left, but I reckon around 30 [probably less] and they certainly aren't coming back.

I think the overall NXWM/NXC fleet total has fallen well below 1700 (I have 1557 vehicles as allocated & in-service currently, excluding static/driver trainers, withdrawn/reserve buses and the Health 'Buzz' plus 3225). So things are a bit tight, you might say.

4128; 4138; 4191 won't be coming back

Shame 4190 was reinstated to PN being as it was a former PN vehicle.

4507 AG - PB

;D Wasn't expecting that obviously as it is 11 branded. Will it get treated to a repaint first or just de-branded? Nice to get another Gemini

It was supposed to go via refurb, but it arrived at PB last night just after PB sent 4499 to Walsall

Wouldn't it have better to move 4666

The incident that happened on 4666 wasn't exposed on the media exposure as much as the incident that happened on 4816 which got renumbered. There might be a reason 4666 stayed?

4507 is the one that likes to vibrate a lot. Also, lockdown has been removed. 4508 on the other hand is much much better.

4507 also has the newer Hanover unit inside, like the MMCs.


Edit: lockdown? I mean kickdown

It's also the only diesel Gemini at NX still with the ridged lower panels, so needs a visit to Walsall to get rid of those

Diesel Gemini? Is that a hint of things to come?

Ah I misunderstood what he said. Thought he said only diesel Gemini with ridged panels at AG rather than NX
