NX Hybrids

[Trident 4609]

Which routes other than the 22/23/24 have the BC put hybrids on? (I know they very rarley go off the 22/3/4).

At WN they have appeared on the 79,126,529 and now the 4! And obviously on the 1 and the spare ones on the 59.

I know 5507 appeared on the 97 not long after they all entered service  ;)

The 97 when they were new, but not for ages now, a single X64 peak journey, and a 'tentative' sighting on the 900E if I recall correctly - but the last one was a bit vague, no fleet number etc.

And that is in a year and a half, the WN Hybrids have ventured off-route way more in just a couple of months!!

Apart from 5509 doing that X64 trip, it must be over a year since anyone reported one on anything other than the 22/23/24. You'd think the BC ones would have been better candidates for route branding (some generic City - Harborne branding) rather than the WN ones.

And 2 Route 1 branded E400H off route two days running with 5412 on the 59 yesterday and now 5415 on the 4!

[Trident 4609]

Are all of NX Dundee's E400H 5422-30 all branded for their Route 5?

Yes, I don't think the 9 x Hybrids cover the entire Pvr of the 5

Thanks Winston :) Do other vehicle types operate the 5 still?

What was the 5 operated with before the Hybrids came? Presidents and Gemini's?

Not all of Dundee's Hybrids are in service yet, I think up too 5 have now entered service

I think the 5 was allocated a mixture of both double deckers (Gemini & odd Olympian workings plus more recently Presidents) & various single deckers, I seem to remember a Solo being reported this week.

Noted today that 5501, which had received extensive accident damage which is now repaired, has had all its offside green leaves branding and NXWM / Centro logos fully reapplied - which is good to see.

BC are certainly on the ball in terms of keeping these buses well presented.

[Trident 4609]

Also 5410 has had its side branding reapplied following accident damage repair. Has been Out in service for the past week with the side branding removed

Sorry for bringing this up again, I've only just noticed this.

Before the hybrids entered service the Geminis were fixed to the 5, and for a time, there were single deckers on the route too as some of the Geminis were put on the Whitfield (15/17). As the hybrids entered service, the Geminis have found their way onto the St Marys (1A/B) and Kirkton (18/19).

The Presidents mainly come off of school runs, Solos off other services and the Olympians are all withdrawn.

Yesterday out of the 6 buses needed on the 59 (WN) on sundays 4 were Hybrids (B5LH).

There were 5511, 5512,5513 and 5514 with tridents 4590 and 4572 also on the 59.

Something i have noticed on the 59 on sundays, First bus out is usually hybrid and the second
Board is usually a trident.

I'm aware that the Olympian are now withdrawn, however previously they did appear on the 5 off schools as the Presidents now do in their place
