I reckon the new buses will be E400's and E200's? ???

...What about E300's?

Just to back up BN's post, naturally.

I don't see any merit in introducing yet another type of single decker to the fleet even if NX were to negotiate a good deal with ADL

Would be nice to see some e300s but surely if NX weren't impressed with the demonstrator and the design hasn't really changed then I would be surprised if any were ordered. Unless ADL are flogging them off and NX get a good deal. Can't see the e300 is as good as a b7rle though...

Anything's possible though when it comes down to price E200,E300 & E400 probably share many component parts thus making any deal with (adl) very attractive to
NX, More bang for there buck as the saying goes.

Now you're teasing... deliveries of E300s?  ::)
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

It would be interesting to see if some E300's are delivered but I think it would be doubtful. I prefer ADL products from a design and drive point of view but from another point of view it lines the pockets of the competition.

No, it's just a wind-up. 1515 is currently having a replacement engine fitted donated by 1654, that's all

Aren't the drivers cabs on Enviro 300's some of the smallest ever? I'm sure it's been mentioned before that Stagecoach drivers aren't impressed by the lack of cab space

Christopher

Wouldn't they be the size as the as the e200s we had recently😌
