Here's a question.

Out of the various vehicle types operated & the garages owned by NX & it's predecessors, was there any vehicle type not operated at any point by any of the garages past & present?

Walsall currently, to my knowledge, have never operated Mercs or the E200's.

As far as I'm aware only Walsall & Wolves operated the Bristol VR's back in the 70's & 80's.

Any other types that never had at least one example operate from more than one garage over the years?

Ash

West Brom never operated any tridents, or spectra's/excel's or enviro 400's or b7rle of whats currently in the fleet now.

John

Acocks Green have also never operated Tridents, Enviro200s or Enviro400s

Gareth

Birmingham Central were the only garage to run the H-LOM Scanias.

Not quite. Wolverhampton did have a couple at the end of their lives for a month when they ran the Christmas Park & Ride

BC and WN are the only garages to have been allocated Spectra. They have gone off on loan though, I know one spent a day at AG.

Dunno, vague memory of Mercs at Walsall?
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

They were on loan on Sundays only from Yardley Wood. Low floor Sunday.

As far as I'm aware, AG were operating some boards on the 6, hence the Tridents.

There was a picture of a Trident working the 37 on horsencart's old Fotopic Site. A 43** I think.
