The NX 50 also has Wifi and you get to board Enviro 400s without the terrible interior.

Yeah I could catch the 50 NX but I like the green bus metros/tridents

The NX 50 is really slow and has older buses than diamond usually do. Plus, the nifty fifty is cleaner, faster with a better interior and good drivers.

Maybe bu aren't very regular on the 50. There are always a dart or two which suggests the Centros are operating another service which doesn't surprise me. The NX 50 is very frequent and that's why I use it to college rather than the Diamond one.

Still prefer the centros but they do escape onto other routes for instance last summer saw one broken down in Halesowen Bus station !

Outrageous behaviour  :o thanks 4618 that answers the question.

But when will NXWM be shamed into repainting 4801 - it looks a right state for such a new vehicle! Looks like someones cleaned it with bleach or something.

It must have been at the time NXWM only had west midlands stickers thats why the 09 omnilinks had 'west midlands part of national express' on them i assume these were applied at walsall and the 09 enviro stickers were on the vehicles when delivered by the dealer
