NX Hybrids

[Stu]

True there is only one Metro line at present, which is line 1 Wolverhampton to Snow Hill.

It's shown on the destination displays:

So naturally yes, ML1 = "Metro Line 1"

Dundee hybrids 5423 and 5425 now delivered and joining 5422. I've heard some more arrived yesterday, just waiting to find out which ones.

Off Topic

You may well find the Arriva ones are low height bodywork, which is why they are missing the curve off the top of upper deck front window

The 11 Arriva Southern Counties ones are 13ft 10 in (4.2m). I travelled downstairs on one - v impressive and smooth riding - only downside is the very low headroom at the rear on the sides - I banged my head  :-\

You can see the official launch here

Does anyone know how many E400H will be Route branded for the 1?

Looks like 5513 is the first victim, found a small burn on one of the back seats :(

From someone stubbing out a cigarette maybe? I was sat upstairs on it the other day and two kids at the back were smoking

Just proves they don't give a sh** give them a new bus that cost thousands of pounds....still no respect! These pathetic low life scum are just layabout chavs spoiling it for everone else
These idiots should be sorted....once and for all!!!

More to the point most of these half witts are only on the bus 10 mins but cannot manage to go without a fag or joint for this short period!

Yh, most get on at burton road, right by the wrens nest.

Couldn't agree more

Think thats bad! I've been told by 3 WN drivers any spare hybrids will be used on the 59 Route!

My 19th March tweet:

Smells like some idiot is smoking weed on top deck of NXWM 5512. The new bus now stinks. Not what I wanna inhale on way to work #bus #stinks

No way of stopping the chavs & general scum sadly - not that I can instantly think of anyway. Most of them are so thick they likely don't realise it's a new bus either.  >:(

[Neswulf]

Quick update, on 5517, back seat, two burn holes & some attempted graffiti of a seat in front. Doesn't take long does it?  >:(
