Surely if they were for the 28 and 62 then they would be SWB?

Variable patronage on all three routes slowly increasing on the latter two generally speaking rather than from peoples personal observations, plus SWB would be abit useless if they went onto busier routes for example the 3. LWB could also be seen as impractical yet at the same time, B7RLE's replaced Excels of various lengths, and B6LE's replaced Solo's so you can possibly see where I'm heading with this trail of thought, As I said, we may be getting more than six but we all know rumours can be hearsay but can also happen

Because hyberheaps are just crap, thats why they shouldn't be on Mansfield trucks, should be on the PVS trucks instead. The unreliability is causing me especially a great deal of inconvinience on a daily basis. Bring back Metros and Fleetlines. 

To be fair the B5s over this way seem fine from a reliability perspective, rarely see any problems - 22/23 almost full hybrid operation lately with just the odd E400 supplementing.

Could the wolverhampton enviros be for the 82 instead of the 28/62 (which hasn't been confirmed yet their allocation has it?

Expect them on most routes that are currently operated by B6's and Mercs. I hear we are to receive 14 sometime this month to see off the B6's. I was told the TWM livered Mercs were going by September too so maybe some Tridents will be cascaded from BC to replace these

It is extremely unlikely WN will get any E200s this month

They will be brand new and i hear they are LWB. I was told by several people at WN that they were due at the end of the month but reading Tony's post i don't think they will be hear till September

Hey. :( Leave the B6s alone. Well, if it is true the E200s arrive in WN, I will avoid them like plague. I'll start catching WA 40 and 529. :P

No no don't get me wrong I like b6's but can be as uncomfertable as a dog humping a cat. Why would you avoid new buses for a route that NEEDS them and I hope they get onto the 81

No no don't get me wrong I like b6's but can be as uncomfortable as a dog humping a cat. Why would you avoid new buses for a route that NEEDS them and I hope they get onto the 81

Yeah, I know B6s can be uncomfortable, if you sit on the single seat at the front or the middle seat at the back, it's all good. My home route is 82, the B6s are there most of the time. I only catch 82 because of the B6s. ;) When E200s come, I'll not catch 82.

Well in 4 1/2 weeks I have to get it every weekday for near enough 10 months so yeah im really excited

I've just thought there will now be a chance of e200 on the 126, that would be sooooo funny. Just like when one was on the nine.
