[Sayeed]

just out of curiosity, what is going to happen to the LED destination displays on the withdrawn buses?

Most of the ones from Dundee & NX B10L's in reserve ended up at PE & retrofitted to Mercs

Only ever ridden one from this batch, 7127 on the 69 when it was at Walsall.

I must say it sounded more Metrobus-like than the 14** Voith B10Ls

When 7127 - 29 were at AG I only noticed them when they appeared on the 5 and 966, they blended in too easily on the 71 and 72 to notice whether it was a 14xx or a 71xx going past.

When they came to WA, only one i got a journey on was 7128 on the 7, wasnt much cop compared to ours. Think ive got a phone pic of 7129 on the 40 and got a proper photo of 7127 on the 302

I rode 7127/8/9 all on the 69 plenty of times.

So have I, though not on the 69!

Route banding on the Dundee Enviro400Hs has been amended with the new X5 service, and a blue stripe like our branding has been added

Anyone got the body numbers for these hybrids?

[ross4122]

Are Dundee due anymore second-hand NXWM buses?

[winston]

Dundee needs a new MD:

[Wolves256]

So I know this is not part of the West Midlands scene however it is related to NX
I believe NXD have the following buses that need replacing this year:
16 Presidents
6 Volvo B10L
8 Volvo B10BLE (R reg)
14 Volvo B10BLE (V reg)
Will these be replaced by NXWM cascades or new vehicles (or combination of both)?
Is NX expecting more than 171 buses this year to cover fleets outside the West Midlands?

A new 2 tone green and gold livery could be chosen as the new National Express Dundee home colours. Also some hints about some new hybrid/Eco buses as we'll. :D

Horrible. Also appears to be getting rid of 'national express' from the fleet name

Thanks for posting!

Looks very smart indeed and promising NX intend to invest there as the age profile there doesn't seem as good as at some NXWM depots is/will be.

The green is only a proposal. It says the new livery will be chosen by/ consulted with local people in the Spring.
