NX Hybrids

[Trident 4609]

I keep seeing 5417 but never manage to catch it and its the last one i need to get to complete WN hybrids

[Andrew1991]

Finally been on all WN hybrids

I think I did all of them ages ago but I might not have done 5421 (that's the only one I'm not sure of)

I've done that one, it stalks me lol

Which was your last Hybrid to get?

5416

[Trident 4609]

See, you had it before me and I live on the route it's branded for

I rode 5501 on a full 24 this evening and after being used to the WN B5s, this one sounded rougher, felt slower and was very rattly! I guess age takes its toll on even the most expensive of buses, even if it is only coming up to its second birthday.

I didn't realise buses celebrated birthdays! 

As the average life span of a decker is 20 years, and the life expectancy of a young bus enthusiast maybe 80 (so long as they're not barred from internet forums too often), then isn't 5501 actually "nearly 8 in bus years."

5501 was off the road for accident repairs for several months after being hit by a stolen car, so should have less wear and tear and mileage than the rest of the BC Hybrids. I rode on it this week and it seemed fine to me but I've never been on one of the WN ones for comparison purposes.

I've noticed the B5s often have rattles where the emergency break glass hammer is.

Indeed. It also lost its leaves on the Offside. Back on now though.

I wonder when they'll repaint these into NXWM? Or is the green to stay until they expire in a good few years in the future?

WN 59 was fully B5 operated last night. 4 buses needed at night being 5510/1/2/4

;D There is a Cock Inn on the 140/241 route as well. Wonder if it will be announced if the 140/241 ever gets talking buses

Yes Nathan the announcements were working a few months ago. There is a part on the 1 (Tettenhall Rd) that has a bit of a malfunction

[Nathan4775]
