Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Discussion

[monkeyjoe]

I reckon they might go to newish growth routes and my guess is a split between bc = 70 and PN = 141/140/241

I don't know if it is just the camera or me (!), but I am sue the shade of red has changed again on these new Enviro 400s - the red looks slightly lighter than the 13reg and 63reg enviro 400s. Surely the red shade can't have changed again?

Compare the red shade between the two batches

Probably just the camera. The photos of the new ones were taken on a phone and sent to me by one of the First Group managers

I suspect he was just making a guess as to where they are going. I did guess BC at first but as you have said they are not for BC.

I haven't said not BC, just that the comment was incorrect

From what i have heard, there has been a mistake made by ADL on registering the vehicles and the registration of 4943 has now changed to SL14 LNO, SL14 LRO is now a Stagecoach London Enviro 400 destined for Bow Depot (fleet number 12324).

There is an example that I believe is destined for London of the brand new Enviro400 at a company on the elmdon trading estate near the airport, not sure how long its going to be there for but its currently missing its front panel that holds the reg plate and also all of the windows are covered in camo vinyls, I did manage to get a couple of pictures but unfortunatley they are too large to upload on here, maybe Tony might want them to add to the page himself :]

Overall though they do look quite nice and spacious and I will be excited to see if NXWM buys any of these and what garages they go to, personally I think they should go to AG as the only new deckers they have had in recent years are the 54 plated B7TL geminis :]

[pb2012]

Personally it would be nice to see new vehicles at depots that havn't had any new for quite a while AG-YW for example, i'm sure the drivers would appreciate some thing new to drive,wherever they go lets hope there not vandalized or set alight by mindless idiots who have nothing better to do. :)

The Solos and Darts are definitely going. The UK Bus Director confirmed this recently in one of his weekly e-mails to staff. 14 Short E200s going to WB and PB to replace these.

With PB having the small envrios when will wb sent one of there buses
to PB so the drivers can be type trained for the
654 service

WB haven't had their own short E200's yet. What's stopping PB waiting & using one of their new deliveries for type training?

[Solo1]

Wb already has some envrios  that's what I was saying

Why would it have to be a WB one then? BC have much closer links with PB than WB.

There is no rush to actually get them into service. The solos don't disintegrate a midnight on a specific date (they do that over a length of time)
