The former Clarkes, Kings Ferry, Lucketts Group & Stewarts Group Coaches threads have all being merged under one single 'National Express Transport Solutions' Thread (N.E.T.S)

https://ne-transportsolutions.com/

It looks as though a start has been made on re-numbering som/all of the N.E.T.S coach fleet with Lucketts inspired fleet numbers comprising 4 - 6 digits, the first two numbers signify seating capacity i.e. 49**, 55*** etc. New numbers have started to appear on Clarkes & Kings Ferry coaches thus far:

4830 BX65WCC (Clarkes)
4978 BF67WKC (Clarkes)
7705 YJ70AWW (Kings Ferry)
53129 BV69LNG (Kings Ferry)
53130 BV69LNH (Kings Ferry)

Former Kings Ferry YN67VDC has transferred to Morton's & is also now numbered 572857

Good evening.

I wondered if there has been any further developments  with this scheme and/or if there is an updated listing of the combined fleets.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kings Ferry are axing their entire commuter coach network at short notice from Xmas eve:
https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/news/kings-ferry-service-axed-259315/

Although, the decesion is blamed on reduced demand due to Covid & no longer being commercially viable, the fact the Stagecoach East Kent operations are close by, could of also have had a bearing on the decision.

Why would it have any bearing on the decision?

I have noticed that several National Express vehicles have been transferred to N.E.T.S companies and have been numbered NETS scheme, although still carrying the NatEx fleet number.

Is there a scheme to renumber NatEx coaches? And will there be a standard renumbering of the NETS fleet as opposed to the different styles currently used.

Thanking you in advance, and a Healthy, Happy New Year to you all.

There is a standard NETS numbering scheme, I hope to get the full fleet in one list on the main site over the weekend. National Express remain in the WMT range (officially with a C in front but not displayed)

Tony many thanks for the reply and for all the work that you do on the fleet lists.

Getting accurate information from NETS isn't the easiest thing for me but I think I have the NETS fleetlist correct now. Only vehicles missing are the latest Levantes are the 21 plates taken out the latest NX Batch

NEAT becomes part of NETS from April

Cue speculation on NETS aquiring a local coach operator . . . . . . . .  :-\ ::)
