23 New Buses

[Stu]

2153 is not one of Coventry's, yes some of 2155 upwards are built

Oh ok, I just figured with NX keeping fleet numbers in line that it may stay at Coventry then. I don't suppose you know where it might head next then?

Here are some arriving at Heysham Docks, including both NXWM and NXC B7RLE's

They look excellent in Coventry blue.

I agree with you John they look Great in NXC Livery I wonder where the NXWM Livery one is going

[uniquicity]

2171-77 to NXWM then with the first 17 going to Coventry. 17 sounds a familiar number, sure it was mentioned earlier in the thread

Do you know which Garage will be having 2171-2177?

[uniquicity]

No. I could guess and say they will be for a route with a PVR of 5/6.

No. I could guess and say they will be for a route with a PVR of 5/6.

And possibly for a garage that already operates the type i.e AG, BC, PE or WN

if it is any of those, I think it would be more likely to be Pensnett or Wolverhampton, with older Single Deckers there.

[uniquicity]

I'll say Dundee or WB for the 48. Just to be different.


(Soon to be commuting on the 48)

They could go to AG on the 37, so that some Omnilinks could transfer to YW to make the 27 fully Omnilink operated and cascade some B10Ls.

They me be destined for a garage that operates a route for the Brierley hill better bus area ie Pensnett or Wolverhampton

Doubt they'll be for Dundee, as Dundee's normally carry Scottish plates & don't get delivered to Heysham.

& WB getting them, did you realise its after Midday? so April fools no longer apply......  :P

[Sh4318]

WB for the 48. Just to be different.

As much as I would welcome this, I don't think it's going to happen, there wouldn't be a lot of point sending the B7s to WB unless there was a sizeable amount. Besides, if WB were to get some new singles, they'd more than likely be used on services 83/89

I thought possibly the 7 new B7RLE + 2153 could go to YW for the 27, thus allowing the 9 remaining B10L to be withdrawn. But I would have thought that cascaded Omnilinks would be the better option to reduce the number of vehicle types in YW's allocation

One of those routes would either be the 255, 276 or X96 then? There wouldn't be enough to convert the 246.
