NX Hybrids

[D10]

It may just be the sunlight, but does anybody else think the green is darker than on the other Hybrids?

Does look slightly darker, but then the buses do seem to be parked in the shade!

Well the Presidents haven't lasted long then at YW, even though theyre giving some second refurbs, or is another mad suprise President transfer planned?

Yes I hear they are to be 13 plates.

Are there any plans to try the hybrids out on longer distance routes to see how they cope.

All the routes they have been tried out on, 22/23 and now the 1 are very much small, stop/start routes, what about seeing how they would fair on something like the 126 or 256 which should see how they operate under different conditions?

You would persume that any bus paid in the excess of 100K would be fit for any route/any distance. I certainly wouldn't buy one if it was not  :o :o :o

"Turning Wolverhampton green", youd have to knock half of it down and grass it over to do that

i think it should at least have been 'turning the black country green' seeing as half of the route is in dudley and no doubt they'll end up on other routes too

Its like when 4535 carried "investing in Wolverhampton", not too relevant to people in Birmingham. Where as when the Dudley Road got 06 Geminis, they used investing in sandwell and the black country if I rmemeber

I think its 9 or 10 that are being branded so we could try and sneak them out on other routes but they want them kept in and around Wolves so maybe not the 126.

Correct me if I wrong, but I'd assume that as some of the cost was funded from a government grant I'd assume that they have to stay on the route that NX origionally bid for. Same situation as to why the new Volvo Hybrids aren't being transferred straight away in exchange for E400Hs.

Is that the reason the new B5LHs are going to WN rather than BC? I'd presumed that NXWM would be ok to move Hybrids between routes if they'd received fundings for each of those routes but I might be wrong. Also, the BC Hybrids regularly appear on the 24, usually 2 or 3 a day so I would have thought that WN's might be given license to roam sooner rather than later.
