There isn't any new buses for WN this year ... so no E200's for WN :) ...

That's a real shame, eh @Tony

Yes. Real shame

[winston]

Lets just say it will be animpressiontime for most garages between now and the end of the year. Looking at the list I certainly am.

Hi BN,

Are you able to confirm how many new buses we can expect by the end of the year? I was under the impression that the largest proportion of the new deliveries would be arriving during 2015 to meet NX's commitment with Centro?

[Wolves256]

Tony has confirmed 100 by September this year so that leaves 174 next year to meet the centro 'commitment' of 300 new buses

[Stu]

NXs promise of 100 new buses this year is going to be kept and all 100 should be delivered by the end of September so expect a lot of withdrawals soon including the elimination of three vehicle types?

Several people on here are going to be surprised by where the new buses are allocated to as well. I javen't seen too many correct guesses yet!

So far people have guessed at Wolverhampton, Acocks Green, Yardley Wood, Birmingham Central, West Bromwich, Pensnett... so if its none of those I guess its going to be Walsall and Perry Barr again?

For a laugh, I'm going to guess at Coventry!  :D

[Liberator9]

I'll go for Yardley Wood, replacing some of the Presidents or the Tridents. The latter being replaced would be better allowing some Tridents to be cascaded to the likes of WB/PE to replace the Mercs. I don't think it'll be PB as they received the new E400s for the Sutton Routes recently, or WN considering the investment there over the last two years. YW could do with some new double deck buses - no bias in this at all (I use the 76 5 days a week  ;) )

[andrew1991]

How many of these 100 buses are E400's and how many are E200's ?

Paddy Power have given me 100-1 on the E400s going to Bordesley Green.

Yardley wood 6 or 2/3 or just to be further into randomness BY 55

That's good odds considering they'd have to be open toppers.....

i do like them link @Liverpool Street

WB for the 82/87 and or 61/63 Bristol road would be good to see. As for the three vehicle types to be withdrawn, I reckon Solos, Darts and Liberators.

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.

There is a possibility of one surviving as a replacement for the poorly 241
