Is there any new buses due? What routes do you think would be beneficial to new buses. I think the 9 are looking a bit worse for wear

Some LWB E200's are on order if not due and some E400's are due for Birmingham Central (4940-4949) for Route 24 & West Bromwich (4950-4982) for the Soho Road (Routes 74 & 75).
60 Birmingham - Cranes Park
72/72A Solihull Station - Chelmsley Wood
73 Solihull - Heartlands Hospital
X1 Birmingham - Coventry
X2 Birmingham - Solihull Station
A10 Solihull - Cranes Park / Chelmsley Wood

I can't recall seeing someone confirming about LWB E200's although there probsbly are some due.

There is a photo on flickr dated from August 1st 2014 showing an E400 being built at ADL but in Sky Blue livery for Coventry

There is no problem with the buses on the 9.

All they need is a repaint and refurb and they will look brand new again

TBF not even a full refurb just a little tone up.

I think there is/will be an additional batch of E200 Veh's numbered 831 to 860 presumably the LWB option, but are they destined for WM or will they be going to Dundee??? :-\ :-\
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

So will the B6's last a little longer at WN then? Interesting

No longer than any of the others (27 to go now)

At the end of July, WN had 10 TWM-liveried Mercs, 6 NXWM-liveried Mercs and 15 B6's.  If they are getting 15 E200's, and the 10 TWM-liveried Mercs are to go, then 10 of the B6's won't be replaced by the new E200's.
