Alexander Dennis Enviro400

I'm guessing more BC tridents will transfer elsewhere. I have heard PE may gain Some 44** tridents  (This came from Driver03)

Not in this batch, but when we get the facelift ones we could see some 44's going.

Yes thats what i said. Driver03 said the plan is for PE to have some 44** tridents! Tbh WN should have them to withdraw the Spectras

Oh, from the way you wrote that it seemed like you meant in this transfer window. Sorry, 4609.

And I can see it being feasable WN can have them. Timing would be correct to withdraw Spectras begging of '14, BC lose 16 44's and gain 16 new shaped E400s.

I was under the impression from the trade press that NX were only just going out to tender with manufacturers to supply the 300 new buses that are promised. Have orders now been placed?

Its too early for me to possibly disclose this information.

If you're as clever as I think you are, the above statement has already answered your question... ;)

Cheers Rat  ;)

I thought you'd understand what I was on about  ;)

Anybody got any manufactures' pictures of the 2014 E400? If it will even be called Enviro400 in the future. Its a totally new body I've been told by a friend at ADL. But our meets are few and far between nowadays.

And obviously we have Euro 6 standards at the start of '14... would that mean even slower, quieter engines?! ZF 'boxes seem to be the box of choice for other operators though.

I get you you Rat!  ;)

I don't think ADL or Wrightbus have released any images of their new Euro 6 designs to the trade press as yet? I've seen details of Scania & Cummins new Euro 6 engines, but that's about it

Yuss, I avoid such events as all you get is endless irritating bus nuts who don't have a clue what they're really looking at. Littering the arena with 'noobish' behaviour. I remember the one with the Metrobus was brand new... now that was a bus show! But as you know, its nothing but plastic now.

I think the finish on the E400 is shoddy, with exposed rivets etc.

I posted last week a picture if the new euro6 Gemini

Thanks, yes I saw that, it looks like a Gemini involved in a low bridge accident that has been rebuilt by East Lancs, the upper deck looks wrong - hope it's only a prototype for comment/feedback

It was more ADL's new double decker offering that we hadn't seen any images of

[Wolves256]

Is this picture correct?

Bottom half looks Gemini, but top half looks like a Borrismaster!!!

It is. I saw it in the flesh, and it's worse.

Been there for a while now... Running regularly on 900 & 957, but yesterday on the 22 & 24? I've started this topic to ask for your opinions... Do you think they should run on the 24 more often?

No, I don't. The 24 gets Tridents & Hybrids, I think the Enviros should say on the 900/957 and the Coventry Road

No I don't other area apart from Harborne  could do with some investment. Nearly all the old Quinton routes (to from City Centre) have modern buses on them now.

[JB93]

Any new investment at Birmingham Central needs to go onto routes like the 45/47, 61/63, and the 97. I think the 56/90 could benefit from new vehicles and a joint branding too. Harborne has had a hell of a lot of investment lately.
