Are they withdrawn withdrawn or might they see service elsewhere, I could see at least 1 or 2 of the best ones ending up at PE with the rate of breakdowns/fires happening

Ashley 4569

The three mentioned above are withdrawn. Im now back on home turf and want to go and get photos of the full set before more go which is imminent

Did 'Stivichall' win the spelling competition?
From what I saw, 'Styvechale' was far more popular, so I'm surprised to see NXC using 'Stivichall' so much.

Mercs in service in cov (8th june)

So far it has been Styvechale on the branding and Stivichall on electronic displays ::) But the electronic displays will hopefully be updated to Styvechale today to tie in with the service changes elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure the T and V reg ones will see out service at another garage surely, especially considering PE and WB still have a good number of R and S reg ones rattiling along

Matt,

NXC currently have 10 x E400's + 23 x B7RLE entering service = 33 new buses in total, however, they are loosing 15 x 58 plate Omnilinks in the process to a NXWM garage. That will result in a nett gain of only 18 new buses @ NXC, as they currently have a fleet of 41 x Mercs & 1 x B6LE, only around half the current Merc fleet will be replaced at most. I expect the best of the R & S reg batches will be retained by NXC along with all the T & V-reg ones currently allocated


I would have thought that NXC will retain some Mercs even after the new E400's & B7RLE's have all entered service. NXC currently have 41 x Mercs

I just wrote all the ones I saw. Yesterday for journeys out of those i had 1547 1552 1563 1568 1591 1608 1625 and 1655. Id still love to know why WN sent this to WB before CV. 1608 im predicting is one to get the chop as that sounded a bit rough.

Think 1605 1606 and 1612 may have been withdrawn.

Think iv nearly got all the coventry mercs photographed now
