Does anyone know what demonstrators NXWM have had but have never been in public service with them?

One I know of is ERZ2028 Streetlite which my dad photographed in 2012 parked up at PE

WMPTE/TWM/NXWM at some point have had demonstators of most types of bus ever built, very few actually get into service, When I used to work at Summer Lane, there was a continual stream of buses arriving outside for all the top people to clamber over. I bet a gentleman called Martin Fisher who works at Aston Manor Road Transport Museum has got photographs of most of them!

Here is a Leyland Lynx demonstrator in WMT livery. As far as I'm aware, it never ran in service. Seen here at Summer Lane

I'm sure a Lynx demonstrator in WMT livery made it to Australia. I recall seeing a pic on Flickr a while back

John, I think that there were two or three went to Australia. They were taken out of the WMT production run and were not demonstrators. They were full WMT spec, right down to seating and the plastic 'L' on the doors. Up until a couple of years ago, at least one still survived. I'm not sure of its current status though.

thought I would start a thread for demo buses  here is travel wm bus son to be onm the roads  https://www.flickr.com/photos/stanjack/16257303527/

Why? Why not just stick it the E400MMC thread that already exists??? Can you use the spell check facility going forward, as many of your posts are illegible, Winston

I know, it's an ADL demonstrator, but not on demonstration with NX as such, as orders for the type would have been placed some time ago/NX's own examples are now in build/nearing completion.

It's on loan from ADL for driver familiarization

Is that why it is a demo 'strander' It's not going into service so it is stranding passengers?

Plus there is already a demonstrators thread, just people can't be bothered to check first using 'SEARCH' first....
