next to go ?

[Nathan4775]

Anyone know which Plaxtons are next to go to Dundee if any ?

4111-4115 presumably

[The Real 4778]

Doubt it: 4113-5 are West Bromwich route branded, and there's no history of WB buses going to the land of marmalade-making and Desparate Dan.

Only 4114 is branded of the 3.

I don't think any more will leave NXWM soon, either to Dundee or elsewhere.

It seems like single deckers are priority for been replaced, (Pensnett and West Bromwich are rumoured), not doubles. I reckon we will have Presidents for a good few years yet, because of the extensive refurbishments about 5 years ago, until a mass upgrade of the 11 is due. Anyway, I would think the Spectra's will be first for the chop

How about no more plastic and leave it as it is? :D

Oh no wait, that wont happen :(

I remember during the 1990 s nothing was brought
For 5 years from

Scania N113 at Birmingham Central 3201-3247

Until

Volvo B10M 1317 -1326

Then from September 1995 purchases was going at a rapid rate

John,

The Presidents are replacing the last remaining B10L's up in Dundee, there are currently 6 x B10L's left in service, with NX's infatuation for re-creating batches, I suspect 4111-4115 wont be far behind 4110 once the new Enviro E400's start to arrive

I'm confused as to what constitutes 'plastic' vs non plastic in the current fleet. I've seen most vehicle types in the current fleet referred to as plastic at some point. What is the cut-off?

[Ashley 4566]

Plastic is 1788 onwards for single deckers and 4830 onwards for double deckers, plus hyberdoodles and E200s

[Kiewii]

Dundee have had 17 buses to replace the B10Ls, and with 13 withdrawn and 6 remaining, it would mean we would need 2 additional buses

Which buses are you including in the 17?

The hybrids and 4110, 4116 - 4122 (as 4123/4 were to replace 7272/3)

Fair enough, but I thought 4120 - 4122 then followed to allow 7269/70 & 7271 to be withdrawn rather than B10L

Only the 9 x Hybrids & 4116-4119 have allowed B10L to be withdrawn, plus there was the addition of the 3 x  refurb'd B10L 7127-7129 and subsequently 4110 has arrived which has already entered service. I'd have thought Dundee need another 5 cascades to see of the remaining B10L as another now be withdrawn now 4110 has entered service
