2014 and 209x - WV15
(they're starting to get pretty common on these routes now)
This is due to 2 getting some double deckers because of the frequency went from every 9 mins to every 12 mins

Today on the 15 there is
2002
2009
2010
2014
2029
2062
2090
And 2086 if it stops out when it goes on the 15 tonight

Is it as extensive as 5409s rebuild or like 5402/12?

Apart from 5405 is any more 54** being converted or are they going if required?

The perils of not being fully awake on a bus!

Just on 6772, & someone had fallen asleep on the upstairs back seat (I was downstairs!), with his bag on the floor.

He woke up at Shepwell Green,  to discover said bag had gone, so he came down to speak to the driver, presumably to look at the cctv.

I guess Nx would be able to arrange a private screening for him!

If you are going off bustimes it states end of commercial journeys Mon to Sat, so it will be retendered out by TfWM, may have a frequency change, NX may retain it running under tender, Diamond or another operator (maybe Banga?) May take it over like what happened to the 96

Really enjoy reading your posts on the various groups regarding these 54xx E400H's being repowered @Tony at EYMS , but for the more technical minded people like myself, is anyone able to provide a complete list of what's been done so far?

I know 5409 has the standard Enviro 6cyl engine in her, but I believe 5401, 02, 03, 05 and 12 have retained the original 4cyl engine, is this correct?
