NX Hybrids

[Trident 4609]

Presumably 5413 had just finished for the day on the 1 and was near the station so they quickly replaced 4597 with 5413.

First E400H on the 529 to date!

You all seem to have missed 5415 getting to Merry Hill this evening on the 255

Did you get a photo? E400H on two routes which haven't had them yet. The 529 which has only had 2 B5 on with 5413 on there tonight and The 255 hasn't had any hybrids.

I wish i did go on the bus this evening:(

At least you could've done!!

Why do days like this always happen when I'm not able to go out >:(

I spend over an hour in Wolves Bus Station late afternoon and come back home and a few hours later all these rare hybrid workings appear >:( gutted ;)

Although i did manage to catch 529 branded 4604 on the 59 but thats about it

That would be great if 823 was on the 9 on your birthday ;) it will happen at some point.

Well they have already broke the emmision rule plenty.ofbtimes so who knows! Look at today 4681 on the 335 and E400H on the 529 and 255 so anything is possible

5510 on 126  all day yesterday

WN are very good control with Hybrid out on any route than BC. I dont know why BC keep on the 22/23 why not use on the 900 or 957! I would love Hybrid put on 900 that visit to Coventry and People would see or shock!

Quite the opposite I would say, 6013. BC are very good at controlling which routes the Hybrids keep to. The PVR of the 22/23 is around 16 or 17 buses, with 14 required during the day. Why then put Hybrids on the 900 and 957 and leave the routes they were intended for short. In practice the peak hour only boards on the 22/23 are often operated by Tridents, allowing a couple of Hybrids onto the 24 all day. This is logical as the 24 route is identical between city and Harborne baths.

I think it's been debated here before, but the E400H in partcular is more suited to stop start city work rather than routes like the 900.

5416 appears to have gained a quiet whining noise

[nitromatt1]

I have noticed very slight Metrobus-like sounds in E400Hs
