NX Hybrids

[Trident 4609]

Enviros will be entering service next week ( wc 7-4-13 ) according to notice in the garage! I've seen at least two in garage for branding tonight (not sure of route branding or normal). So Trident 4609, you may be able to catch one soon ;)

Driver03, WN garage are actually sorting out for me to visit the garage with my mom second week of the easter holidays. Will there will be any E400H in the garage then.

[Driver03]

Ill be on one on their first day out :)

Got to add the B5LH are still looking clean inside, shame about the outside but now the bad weather is out the way they will be like new again.

Just one question, where are the buses for the metro replacement coming from ?

I will look out for which garage and buses are operating the metro replacement service for you.

I totally forgot to reply to this, as far as I know WN are providing all the replacement buses, I know we have a rota of divers to cover the ML1 service work.

I was talking a driver i know on wolverhampton's 59 route and he said when the E400H enter service then 1 or 2 hybrids may go onto the 59.

By the way, Will the E400H be in service next week or the week after as 4006 is saying this monday and Driver03 is saying the monday after?

No way will they be ready for this Monday, none are taxed/fitted with ticket machines/logoed up yet

5513 had the new bus smell today...until someone started smoking!

Its WN thats operating the ML1, as it was a WN Trident on there today

If NX buy anymore hybrids maybe they should re think the livery as they could end up with a high percentage of buses in a different colour.

I'm surprised that the hybrid livery has lasted this long when diamond brought hybrids there was a livery and then they painted them into the normal livery with reduced hybrid advertising and I thought NXWM would have done the same

Firstly, E400H and B5LH are supposed to be for the 1 and 1 only however, it's Wolverhampton Garage I very much doubt you won't see  a few will "stray" away for a day trip on other services. It's not guaranteed though.

Secondly, I'm hearing that a couple maybe ready for late in the week, definitely 2 in garage having livery applied. The notice we had for type training was hit and miss on dates, so I had a word with engineering ;)

In reply to my earlier post I agree with Tony doesn't look like they will be ready although there is a note in the traffic office saying they will be in service 'next week' i.e from tomorrow (Sunday)
As for the Metro Replacement I havent got a clue anymore who's doing it drivers buses etc.
The buses I saw on it today were 4131

Along with 4329/4538/4606

And furthermore why on earth ML I mean what does that mean? Why not MR or MTR?

Nice to see that bus stop back in use.
I miss having the 79 drop me right outside Sainsbury's :D

Anyway the use of ML1 would have made more sense if a second metro line existed, hence folk would know the bus was a replacement for Line 1 not Line 2.

ML = Metro Line 1? lol :)

[Trident 4609]

Maybe ML means Metro Line?

So BC and WN are operating it then with BC loaning tridents (4329 and 4131) and WN using their own Tridents.
