Maybe I've missed something, but in the route one magazine, it confirms the gold corridors, and that 15 hybrids are being delivered.

Does it say which of the Corridors will become gold. It's probably the same press release that is one the NXWM website.

It says 15 hybrids are due? But wasn't it said that NX wasn't featured in the Lasted round of the Green Bus Fund? Unless NX plan to fund the 15 hybrids themselves which i can see being unlikley.

Are the Sutton's now classed as a gold corridor?

Thats what i thought. Looking at the press release it seems they have launched the Sutton Lines as the first of the 10 'Gold Corridors'

Wasn't their a Map on the Birmingham Council website which outlined which the 10 corridors would be. I suppose we could take a guess but would have thought this would be in the public domain as will be an infrastructure project.

It was on http://connectedcity.org.uk but this website has changed now :-\

I think gold corroded will be Soho road or Bristol rd

I wouldn't mind seeing Hagley Road as a possible Gold Corridor.

The 'Gold Corridors' will probably be the same ones outlined in the 'Smart Network Smarter Choices' project:

Liverpool Street

Looking at what they're doing to the Bristol Road, its most likely one of the Gold 'Corroded' (as mentioned above)

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.
