23 New Buses

[tank90]

I wasn't sure, if thats wrong then i apoligise

If the 12 WN E400H were included in the total of 60, then you would also need to add in the 9 presently being delivered to Dundee.

Either way, if there are infact a further 60 standard E400's on order with 130 new buses confirmed due during 2013, there is still a quantity unidentified/unconfirmed,

9 x E400H (Dundee)
12 x E400H (WN)
9 x Volvo B5LH (WN)
25 x Volvo B7RLE comprising 1 x used (2153) + 24 new ( 23 x CV, 2 x NXWM)
60 x ADL E400 (10 x CV, 50 x ?)
Total = 115, another 15 buses still to be ordered/type confirmed

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong but aren't the 9 x E400Hs for Dundee from Last year?
If not then don't panic its just me getting wires crossed. Because if I am right then thats 24 buses still to be ordered which is a good round number. A thought on another 50 E400s tho 97 maybe if the 24hr running goes well, or the new ones for some where else and older E400s for the 97 as the 97 does have some people who like there weed to much travel on there.

No, the 9 for Dundee are part of this years orders, same as the 21 hybrids for NXWM, the Green Bus funding for them was announced last year

Thanks for that Winston, because I was getting confused about them last year because they were due last year but didnt something happen they where moved to this year. I don't know its easy to confuse me at times lol.

What's the 97 like to anti social behavior though, before sticking something new on it...

Any news on the B7RLEs, I only have 2 more CV Omnilinks left to complete the set  ::)

I used the 97 today in the afternoon. As the driver opened his doors on Moor Street, I was instantly knocked out by the smell of weed. Upstairs had a thick fog. We had a change driver at Digbeth and he came upstairs and sprayed his deodorant all over the upper deck, to try and mask the smell it was that bad.

The 97 does sadly have a large amount of anti social happenings on board. I always try and avoid sitting upstairs at any time due to music be played out loud, people smoking etc. Single decks are a good idea just a shame they have less seats. maybe tri-axle omnilinks would be a good idea for the route

You can have the Bendibuses from Coventry!

2168 at Heysham Docks with a NXC logo above the offside drivers window, I assume it has been applied there to allow for branding? But its a coloured version rather than white

Also the position of the fleet number on the front is different

We were on about the front fleetnumber which is above the nearside headlights, normally they are applied to the black strip dividing the top of the windscreen & the destination display

Strange that only one seemingly is coming from Wright's with fleetnames and number! As far as I can see all the others are blank
