I have had a message via the seller 3rd hand that SN 11 BWG/H/J & SN 61 DCF have been purchased by National Express. I presume these are for one of the airport fleets, anyone else heard of them anywhere?

As they are all short E200's could they be Solo replacements at either NXWM or NXD?

I guess if they were to turn up at Walsall for repaint, it might give us a clue as to which division they are due

Tony, I've posted your message on the Dundee forum to see if anyone up there is aware of any due.

I suppose they could be stop-gap interim replacements for buses that are 'prematurely expiring'?

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

If they were full length E200's I'd agree, but these are what were Mini Pointer Darts 29 seaters

Unless they are for solo replacements at Dundee, Perry Barr or Walsall?

Or even intended to start to replace the ALX200s at West Bromwich

A post on the Dundee forum seems to confirm that they are for Dundee

Doh! Had a blonde moment. I keep forgetting that WA got rid of their solos ages ago!
