Very nice!!
Looks like 5410. 'JOA' reg on numberplate

I wonder why NXWM are applying the fleetnames / branding themselves? when the first Hybrid to arrive at Dundee appears to have been delivered fully branded from ADL

Winston, do you have a link to any pictures of the Dundee ones? Cheers.

Dundee's hybrids are now starting to arrive.

Are these numbered in the 54xx series? Presumably commencing 5410 or possibly 5422 allowing for the 12 on-order in the West Midlands.

The fleet numbers should start at 5422 as Tony has confirmed the WN batch will be 5410 - 5421

Yes, just noticed the fleet numbers allocated to the incoming WN Enviro 400H's on Tony's listings. I'm glad they are not missing out numbers - creating huge fleet number gaps. NX have been prone to that previously, I like to see all the numbers used up! In a way, they have with these Hybrid types - by allocating 54xx/55xx No's. But these vehicles are different enough to warrant that presumably.

Mike, a rear end shot of a NXD Hybrid has now been posted on the Dundee Bus forum, I've attached the link below but you would need to become a member to view it as this one has been posted as an attachment. Basically the branding is the same colour/style as the new NXWM 97 branding

It is.

Thanks. The back of these looks like a giant smiley face when the windows aren't covered by vinyl like the BC ones.

And just noticed no "ENVIRO 400" on the bonnet of these.

The 2 at Park Lane are 'JOA' & 'JOH'

Does anyone know the date the E400H are entering service as me and my friend Nitromatt 1 are hoping to go on one during easter. I really want to go on a Enviro 400H. I've already been on the B5LH but they seem quite cramped.

I did wonder that to, will they wait for them all to arrive, or will they just get them on the road asap?

How many buses are required for the metro replacement service ?

I'm guessing they should all be in service by the 2nd april.

Not sure but it would make sence if the Enviro's were ready for service by 30th March. This would release the buses the the Enviro's are due to replace which could be used for the metro replacement commencing 30th

Got my dates mixed up lol, thought the 30th was a sunday. Yeah most likely Saturday then.
