NX Hybrids

Matt, You will probably see that Tridents, Spectras then 2-3 running boards will be Hybrid (Both types i've been told) so we will get even more of a variety on the 59!

You mean you will...

I see the end of the road for the Spectras. :(

Spectras will still appear i think

Don't see why they'd need them any more

It's been previously mentioned that the Spectras are to stay for the time being, while other tridents move elsewhere

Well I'm sorry I don't read and remember every single post...

Was only trying to be helpful  :o. Here's the quote below  :):

What about your spectras 4006?

Ah Yes I forgot to mention...due to be withdrawn Feb/March they are not (so I been told) the Spectra's will soldier on (fortunately for some, unfortunately for others!) for the meantime at least anyhows!
Maybe they will indeed go once the new Hybrids are in place? but the info I have is they will be staying for a bit longer!

Spectras will be here until early 2014 at the earliest, you'll see them dude don't worry ;)

So there will be hybrids on the 1 and up to 2-3 on 59 with a spare in the garage for an extra peak running board on the 1

Correct dude.

Great, thanks, the day the Spectras leave will be a sad day.

I wonder if on their final day at least one could be put on each of the WN routes i.e. a Spectra running day?

Wonder if they will preserve 4001 and 4002 (And of course 4019 ;D)

I think I might preserve 4019 ;)

Seems very likely, they were the 2nd and 3rd low floor deckers in the UK, with 1 being the first in Scotland.

I doubt that 4019 will be preserved, unless Matt buys it himself.

This is becoming a Spectra appreciation thread. Great!

Back to Hybrids, I am going out in abit to see if any E400H are in service.

[Andrew1991]

Haven't seen any yet only b5's a spectra and some tridents.

[John]

Haven't seen any yet only b5's a spectra and some tridents.

They might be out today, NXWM anounced in their facebook page that 21 hybrid buses are on the 1 today.
National Express West Midlands

We've turned our Black Country #1 route green with 21 hybrid buses now serving #Dudley, #Sedgley, #Wolverhampton and #Tettenhall Wood

[Trident 4609]

I will tell you if i see any when i go out. Not all will be out as some are still in plain green/white yesterday.

[Trident 4609]

I haven't seen an E400H yet but that was just on the tettenhall road section but all i've seen is B5LH, Tridents and a spectra (4003)

[Driver03]

For some reason no E400h have left garage today, I'll keep you all informed.
