NX Hybrids

[Nathan4775]

Is it possible that Birmighams Hyrbid buses can be placed on other routes in Birmingham not just the 22/23 on Sundays, becuase if im correct the 22/23 only need 4 buses as they operate every 30 mins. So therfore meaning there is still 14 hyrbid buses left over

IF ITS POSSIBLE some could be placed elsewhere on Sundays to Brighten some routes up e.g. some on the 24/97/14 probally the 61/63/45/47 if theres any left just to Brighten the routes up a little. Or is that not possible ?

I think it would look qutie nice to see a Hybrid bus working the 14 of a Sunday or on the 97 i know a Hybrid Volvo B5L got onto the 97 before an looked quite good on there in my eyes .

Hybrids do run the 24 from time to time, and I have seen them making an appearance on Sunday's. It would seem logical to use them (presuming drivers are type trained!). I suppose the lack of use on Sundays is probably the reason they're still shiny, compared to the diesel Enviro400s we had around the same time (although they aren't too bad!)... they must be given a good polishing each weekend! :)

I must say BC hyrbids are very clean, no graffiti, no little, no burn marks in the seats just how all uses should be

Even buses deserve a day off!  ;D

They have already appeared on the 97, Tony has a photo somewhere. Did see one in Selly Oak one morning but it had it's warning lights on and didn't look like moving. Would be great though to see them on more routes, other than the 22,23 and 24

Yes, Wolverhampton garage will be getting some next year for their 1 service (Dudley to Tettenhall Wood via Wolverhampton).

[Nathan4775]

Only 1 has apperaed on the 97 which is shame as they look quite at home on that route, would be amazing if the 900 got allocated some Hyrbids for Coventry - Birmingham  ;D ;D ;D or the 957 Birmingham - Solihull

[Nathan4775]

P.s. I dont think they would look nice at WN, when they arrive at WN it would be nice to see the odd few appear on the 79, 126 possibbly the 255, i also have noticed that the odd WN B7RLE appears on the 255 of a daytime

Remember that hybrids suit stop start traffic routes as that's how they use less fuel (by using the electric). I say this before you suggest the X51 or similar, for which the mpg would be pretty much the same as a diesel or not far off.

[Lukeee]

The 11 would be a good candidate (even thought non are at AG) as thats a good stop start route. However you would need a lot for the PVR of the 11.

What type of bus are they getting?

No one knows yet, but I'd imagin it would be eithier E400H or the Volvo B5H being as the funding was for double decker buses. May split the order again like last time

I hope WN get the ADL Enviro 400H as to me they seem a far nicer vehicle to the Volvo and seat around 20 more people I believe. There also much better looking and the hybrid system is certainly far smoother. My only concern though is that WN don't have any ADL vehicles so might opt for the Volvo's which in my opinion anyway are the inferior choice.

Havn't wolverhampton got a large number of ADL trident 2's
