NX Hybrids

[Phil]

The 126 Branded ones could well be Voith (4565-84) cause they definatly make the same sound as the eailier tridents. I thinkhte Pershore Road Ones are ZF.

[Zach Jordan]

The 126 branded ones are definitely Voith, as they only have 3 gears! Thanks for the confirmation of the Pershore Road ones, there not vehicles I frequently travel on (and whenever I catch the 45/7 I seem to get an older Trident, or B7TL) so wasn't sure. :)

WN would look better with Volvo B5H's to be honest, Enviro400H just wouldnt look right to be fair

I hope NXWM only get e400s in future as they are far better than the Volvos!

The volvos are better, they sound better, interior looks better etc, were as the Enviroo's look just like normal Envrio400's

The Volvos are ugly with a bad interior and this is why the E400H IS britain's leading and bestselling hybrid double decker.

Of the 21 new Hybrids on order/to be ordered for WN Route 1 (early 2013), orders confirmed to date are for nine further Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini. As BC's Hybrid allocation is currently 18 for routes 22/23, I would suspect that BC will retain 5501-5509 & have 9 new ones, while WN will gain 5401-5409 from BC + 12 new Enviro 400H to standardize types at both BC & WN garages.

therfore carnt some of the new Hybrids due at BC be placed on routes 900/957/60

Peter 123, the Enviros do have more seating capacity & I thought that they were the most popular type ordered, but I you look at the confirmed orders from the latest Green Bus Fund, more operators seem to have switched to the Volvo/Wrights combination inc Arriva & Go-Ahead orders to name but a few

No, as I suspect it will be 9 in & 9 out, therefore BC will only have the same as at present for routes 22 & 23, with any spares on the 24 or 97

Yes, this seems a shame tho i guess Alexander Dennis still has the best hybrid range the e400, e200 and maybe we could hope for some operators trying out the e350h, which looks an interesting vehicle.

No, because BC wouldn't be gaining any extra hybrids, just swapping some of those they already have.

[Nathan4775]

Ohh ok, I thought they were gaining more, Sorry

[richie]

can nx move old hybrids out to PL from BC when they are been provided for the 1 service with government money which stipulates who you can order from

[4504]

I wonder what would happen to the tridents used on the 1 after the hybrids arrive
