NX Hybrids

[MW]

Yardley Wood had Presidents from new for the 6 actually. I believe they were replaced in 2002 by new Tridents.

Did they, I dont remeber ?

Probably was before you were born?

Didnt they YW plaxtons for the 6 have a yellow circle with 6 in the middle

Are hybrids the main allocation for the 24 on Sundays, cause I don't see any presidents or tridents on it on Sunday's?

Yes, new in 2000, and replaced by Trident's in 2002.

I do remember them then

Yes, i think so 22/23/24 are Hybrid operate Sundays

Yes, new in 2000, and replaced by Trident's in 2002.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you would have been about 3-4 when they were new, as you told us your age in another post. Remarkable memory isn't it.

There things called pictures you know, they kind of jog your memory a little bit

I read somewhere (Buses Magazine I think) that NX has 10 new hybrid double deckers on order for delivery later this year for Dundee, jointly funded with the Scottish Government.

The question that crossed my mind was whether these are additional to, or part of the order for 21 previously reported here?

[D10]

These are in addition to the 21 for the West Midlands.

The Scottish Executive has their own scheme to which succesfully NX applied to for 10 vehciles for Dundee. The 21 coming to Wolverhampton are being part funded by the DfT.

Don,

The 10 due at NX Dundee are additional, they are part funded by the Scottish green bus fund, whilst the 21 due for NXWM are part funded by the UK Green Bus Fund (Round 3), I'm assuming the order for Dundee's Enviro 400H will be tagged on to the NXWM order

[BU07 LGO]

The funny thing is that their hybrids will probably be sent down here after a year or two like the B7 ALX, Spectra's and Omnilinks!!

[don]

Possible that they might cascade some Geminis?

Do Dundee still have Olympians? If so, I'd imagine these would replace some Geminis, to replace the Olympians. If I'm totally wrong and they don't have Olympians anymore, I reckon the Geminis would transfer down here :) 

[Gareth]

I doubt any Geminis would transfer down here. Dundee still have quite a lot of Volvo B6LE, B10L and B10BLE's to withdraw first.

Strange that Dundee have gone for ADL Enviro 400H's, especially when I thought they were going to become 100% Volvo. I would have thought that B5LH's would have been their first choice.

I doubt they will be allowed to transfer down to NXWM, as it's a Scottish money that has helped to part fund them
