Vehicle Transfers

[DavieDD2]

And now we see everyone get their hopes up.

Not in Dundee you don't... although we should be used to cast offs and second hand junk by now

Buses or Coaches?

Will be interesting to see if these are buses (and not coaches). Second hand buses in the NX fleet are very few & far between, I think Dundee 731-4 have had previous owners but not much else. There have been movements between Travel London/Dundee and NXWM etc, but these were all inter-company transfers.

Not for much longer!

Should be some second hand fleet additions this week. More details when they start arriving

First of several 11 plate Levantes due to arrive?

I was a bit premature with anything arriving this week.
Two 11 plate Levantes are at Walsall, but just for returning to dealer at the end of lease

2144 has now left BC for paint before moving to CV completing transfer of 2143-2152 out of BC

These 10 additions will presumably see off the last two remaining Bendibuses (6015/21) - Coventry will have 155 buses when that happens, but will a few early Tridents go too? Red 4142 is a possible candidate. It seems a batch of around 20 new [more likely transferred] vehicles will be needed to allow the withdrawal of all the remaining 41/42xx Tridents at CV.

Is WA's 135 likely to be replaced/returning off lease being part of the same 11 plate batch?

I reckon the used additions 'might be' something along these lines:

The ex Tower Enviros might be heading to Sullivans-they have retained the 626 school bus in Barnet with a requirement for newer buses.

That would be fantastic, I love the idea of some repurposed (to use the popular term of the era) buses joining the fleet, it upholds a local tradition!

If they are double deckers would they use some of the 5*** fleet numbers

Well that has been done before - 5501-80!
