NX Hybrids

[winston]

If they're anything like the Birmingham hybrids, they'll stay on the route they're meant for and that's that  :(

JB93,

Don't forget the B'ham Hybrids are used on the 24 & have also been seen on the 97 on occasions, so not totally beyond the relms........

Tony's most recent photo of 5507 shows it on the 97: http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/5001-9959/5507.html

That's true but the 24 can kind of be lumped in with the 22 and 23 to be honest - it's the Harborne corridor. But they surely aren't used on the 97 that often. I lived on that route for years, ever since the Hybrids first arrived, and caught it pretty much every day, and have never once seen a hybrid on there apart from in Tony's photo.

They've definitely appeared on the 97 a number of times, possibly only on peak workings

Not going to spoil the surprise, but you'll all love the route branding on these Hybrids ;)

would have thought they would have waited for the Enviros to arrive and had a big launch with the 1 being a 100% hybrid route?

[Tony]

None will be in service on Saturday, They will enter public use on Monday.
The launch will include one bus and staff (including me) giving freebies and information out.
It will be at Queens Square, Wolverhampton from 09:30 until 12:00. It will then be driven along the 1 route to Tettenhall Wood sometime between 12:00 and 12:30 and will be parked up at Tettenhall Green until approximately 13:45. It will then be driven along the route to Dudley Bus Station, stay there for a short time then back to Wolverhampton stopping in Sedgeley for a short time

Thanks for the details! I'll be there for sure. Is it known which vehicle will be used yet?

And here is the branding.

So now, instead of green vinyl on red buses, we have it the other way around. Looks quite smart though!

[Andrew1991]

OMG, I may be biased a little bit because its my local route but that looks a lot better that the birmingham ones

[richie]

It looks a good, it would have been nice to see a black then white / green leaf combination. Turning the Black Country green with some stagecoach style branding with local industrial images on interior and exterior. Celebrate the investment and then celebrate the technology in the pioneering area of technology.
