NX Hybrids

[nitromatt1]

Well the 1 obviously needs more than the 9 B5's to cover the PVR which is about 18-20 I think, so I assume they'll receive the 12 E400H's

[Nathan4775]

So the Current Hybirds on the 22/23/24 at Birmingham are Staying

An Wolverhampton are getting new Hybrids for route 1 none of which are coming from Birmingham

The PVR of the 1 is 21. So they're receiving 12 E400H & 9 B5s

What baffles me is why not give Wolverhampton 10 or 11 of each Hybrid rather than 9 Volvo and 12 Enviro400H.

[Nathan4775]

Why don't they stick with the old plan of transfer the BC Enviro400H to WN
then the Volvo B5HLS come to BC

I don't think that was a plan. Just an assumption

None spare at peak times then, so the odd Trident/Spectra should still appear

The odd 1 would probally appear out on another route i.e 529

Maybe not 529 as it run by walsall

[Nathan4775]

Maybe not 529 as it run by walsall

The 529 was transferred to WN when the changing of the numbers in WA happened

[Martin]

Maybe not 529 as it run by walsall

The 529 is now run by Wolverhampton

[danny]

In that case I apologise I didn't relise.

Everyone makes mistakes, me included :P

As far as I'm aware it was pure assumption of E400s transferring from BC to WN and in time this may still happen, however the Green Bus Fund award was for the number 1 service and as far I know the buses purchased must be used on the route bid for, for at least 12 months. Plus if they did do the transfer the 'shine' of new buses for the route would be lost ;).

To confirm all hybrids received will be new, transfers may/not happen in future.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread about there being a photo of a hybrid on the 97 :)
I've never seen one on any route apart from the 22/23/24. Maybe I'm biased because the 97 is my local route but the hybrids look good on it!
