23 New Buses

[Valandil]

I think 8(a) is a more fitting route to upgrade, as then the whole corridor Station - City Centre - Ansty Road will be upgraded at once.
However, if the 16(a) is still to become fully decker-allocated (not certain?), a couple more double-deck vehicles might be needed to ensure that this can be achieved, bearing in mind that the 10 currently uses fewer DD's than the 8(a).
(This is unless, perversely, the 10 sees fewer DD's in the future!)

Tony, I am really confusion! NXC fb page say" We're pleased to say that yes there will be new double decker buses for routes 8 and 8A in June!" I thought it new double decker going on the 10?

Management do have changes of mind. If you notice for some time now I have only been posting what has happened, not what is going to happen.

Thnx bro!

I guess the green branding for the Foleshill road is in line with Stagecoach 48 branding which is also green. It may look better when we see it for real.

I do like the shade for the 9.

I take it more have arrived now, and most are nearly ready for service, with the few already out and the rest been branded.

2171 appeared this after with lime green branding and worked afternoon 9A/12/20A/20 working

2155/2157 appeared with sky blue branding under lower deck window saying "Another new bus for you"
Presumably a couple will be used for route 1 which won't have it's own branding.

I've heard rumours about the 8/A getting Enviros but commitment never was NXCs forte!
In the Coventry Network Review route 9/A was colour coded blue as Stagecoach's X15/18 had already taken red! Never mind.

Hadn't realised just how similar the NX branding is to Stagecoach's, the branding on the NX E200s is almost identical in style to the Stagecoach 48. The lime green certainly suits the Stagecoach livery better.
