Well there's another demo we haven't tried before hopefully dropping into service for a month in about 6 weeks time.

Probably best to continue this discussion in another more appropriate topic, this one has already gone a little off-topic as it is.

ADL but E400 EV's with ADL's own EV chassis instead of a BYD chassis. 

There are also 130 x Wright Electroliners on order for the end of this year

I swear I read a comment that these are for black country garages? Would think PN, WA and WN are ideal candidates as WB is potentially closing?

There was once a rumour that Black Sabbath played a tour warm-up at Hilltop but that's about all.  :evil:

Allocations are currently planned to be
E164-E230 to Perry Barr (The remaining 25 of this batch are being registered from July)
E231-E284 to Yardley Wood
E285-E333 to Perry Barr

This could change slightly depending on the switch on of chargers at the two garages

There's a couple of PVR increases coming which will take a few of the extra buses up. The 97 to the airport for instance, and the first 30 have been take up by 4799-4829.
And WN +1 for September.

Emphasis on the word 'rumour' of course.
