Completley forgot about the new facelifted E400's! Saying that new orders haven't even been placed yet let alone allocated to a garage or route.

LS, Do you know if the 45/7 will be a route upgraded to a Gold Corridor?

I don't know I'm afraid. I guess not if I'm honest, could be one for the OD.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Won't be blue. Blue is for the Pershore road in February.

Are the Pershore Rd being upgraded to new E400's then? Or will the branding be applied to tridents?

By facelifted, do you mean brand new E400's or refurbed E400's from another depot?

Facelifted E400's my friend.

Not like on the 900 but better I suppose.

I think LS is referring to the Euro 6 ADL E400 which is yet to be made public, I expect the latest version will be launched on the ADL stand at Coach & Bus Live in early October.

As I understood it, NX had only recently gone out to tender & had not yet placed any orders to date for 2014 deliveries onwards

Looks great, in my opinion the stripe of colour needs to be retrospectively applied to all the other recent Enviro brandings!

Truth be told, consideration should be given to relieveing the standard livery with a universal blue stripe where the green is.
Don't you start.

The E400's with the 900 branding will now accumulate higher mileage than the others, like then tridents 4425-4434 were branded a decade ago.
