Trident 4609

5410 has lost part of its Route 1 brandin (The main red strip has been taken off).

Maybe they are unbranding some as i suggested? Maybe Some E400H on the 59 as well as B5's

5410 has had new side panels fitted following an accident.

Just wondering if the Volvos were delivered with the gear selection on the right or left? The ones at BC were delivered with them on the right  but recently have been moved to the left to a slot above the blue hybrid lamp
Right side, although they are being moved to left under hybrid lamp due to water damaging gear selectors when raining.

the dash is almost identical to the b7rle, which have been having the gear selectors moved over last few months. for water reason i was told. i am suprised that these b5's were not relocated before delivery

Not sure what happened, it went to Carlyle Bus & Coach to be repaired.

Trident 4609

3 B5's on the 59 today! (5510/11/13).There are only 2 hybrids spare from the 1 which are on the 59 so there must be a Trident or Spectra on the 1

Are all the Enviro hybrids out in service in WM? We've only got three out at the moment up here in Dundee..

Yes the B5's came into service in march and the 12 E400H entered service in late April

Having seen photos on here of them with branding a few weeks ago, I thought they would all be out by now.

Looking at the photos on the main site, How come the Dundee E400H (Branded for the 5) how come most the photos are pictured with them off route (Routes 28/29)

Looks like Dundee are even worse for branded routes than WN ;)

I'm guessing its because its Sunday and maybe the hybrids will work that route on Sundays. Maybe to help drivers get used to them?

The Hybrids were being evaluated on the Douglas routes (28/29)

Had I waited for a reply to my comment on Flickr, I would have found out the reason why anyway. I wonder if Dundee are planning to put in bids for the next Green bus fund, or maybe just a route to put the surplus 5's when not in use.
