Alexander Dennis Enviro400 Discussion

[Mike K]

They're not going to put a handful of 400's into a garage that doesn't operate any ADL products are they!

By that reasoning, AG and WB (disregarding the handful of ALX Darts) wouldn't receive any new buses for years to come.

What is the PVR of the 37?

[Wolves256]

Also the first 20 E400s (NXD have plans for 25 Commonwealth Games buses) will be followed by more E200/400s deliveries in 2014

If it is for the 37 why is it these people are so focused on just a few routes that get investment regularly and other causes where they could create growth are just passed over. Doesn't seem very fair .

I think you may find 4940 etc may not be the first deliveries, These 20 seem to being spread far and wide at the moment, Wolverhampton, West Bromwich and now Acocks Green have all been posted on here as fact. Probably because management haven't actually announced where they are going so it seems lots of guesses going on

[Wolves256]

So Tony are you going to let us in on the secret ?

No, because management haven't announced it, and if I do know in advance I get in trouble if I post commercial decisions on a public domain before the official announcement

Oh so you don't know they are going on the 37 then @Wolves256 if you are now asking @Tony where they are going! Getting hard to separate the fact from prediction in this topic

[Wolves256]

It's clear the new deliveries will be used on high frequency routes/ corridors so that means 37,  50, Bristol road, Pershore road, Cov road, Dudley road and maybe the 11 ( if you can find a home for around 46 Tridents)

[Wolves256]

Sorry I meant to say Presidents

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

Yes, but 20 Enviro's won't touch the 11 PVR!

My thoughts on all of this, given current trends is that somehow they will result in the withdrawal of more Mercs, either through going to a garage that currently operates Mercs or going to a garage that can then cascade out Tridents, B7's or B7 ALX's or Gemini's to WN, PE and WB to remove more Mercs

They're for PN to upgrade the 9 with the current E400's cascaded onto the 140 & 241.

Thats my thoughts but it's pointless guessing, just have to wait and see

Wishful thinking!

I had the same thought, but I hope they hold out until the MMC. I think the 9 has more than 20 boards anyway doesn't it? I'm sure I remember seeing one 9/22 before. Still, someone did say it would be surprising which garage they're going to.

[Liverpool Street]

I thought the most reasonable guess was BC for the Pershore Road? Where the heck has the 37 come from?

[andrew1991]

have I missed something ?

According to the comments someone has had a letter from an mp to say the 126 is getting an upgrade
