What new buses is going where in 2015

I think it's a bit early to ask as I don't think it's been decided yet but others on here may know

[Liberator9]

I swear that somewhere on this forum it was mentioned new Enviro 400MMCs would be going to BC for the 900 and 957, and WA as well for the 51. It's about time though that Yardley Wood and Acocks Green got some buses now - none since late 2009/2010 now. They've been left out so far of the fleet changes - PB, WB, PE, WN, CV and BC have all received some new buses over the last two years.

I think both AG & YW will get some new buses from the next 175 due during 2015 to replace some/all of their Presidents. I reckon the 50 @ YW will get a new fleet.

AG's last new buses were in 2012 (B7RLE's 2099-2121) for the 71 & 72 ;)

Sorry! Completely forgot about the Eclipse 2s!!!  :D Take that back for AG then. I just hope if YW do get some new buses during 2015 they occur by July time, before I finish my final year of school, so I get a few runs on the 76 with them to/from school  ;)

I thought WN were getting some E400MMC for the 126.

[trident4370]

And so the rumours begin!

[Liberator9]

Love it when this begins to happen: my predictions are:

Enviro 400MMCs for BC - 900/957
Enviro 400MMCs for WA - 51/X51
Enviro 400MMCs for WN - 126 (would make full sense - it's due an upgrade)

Then some sort of Enviro single decker to replace the remaining Wright Liberators and Mercedes 0-405s. I'm hoping it would be the Enviro 300s that would replace them, which having been on, seem better than the Enviro 200s. Although there is meant to be a revamp of the Enviro 200 due this month I saw online.

After complaining by email to P coates I got a response that the precious 94 is going to receive an up grade of "newer" vehicles next year. What ever that means.

[trident4370]

Maybe the 900/957 cast offs, assuming the rumours regarding those routes are true and the PVR adds up. Personally I think replacing 2 year old buses is a bit much...

Here the few sources from employees about the new buses

Okay, I visited to the exhibition today. If I could input the criticism... I was a bit disappointed to find out that not many employees in NX who have volunteered to take part do not have much knowledge of E400MMC. (I understand they were there just for promotion or whatever but, come on. A bit of knowledge would be nice.) I sort of expected a person there who has good knowledge so people (like myself) who have questions about the bus can have good answers rather than "I don't know, sorry." I get that reply from 5 persons, I asked them individually "Why are you here, then?" It sounds harsh, I admit, but I expect a person or two there having good knowledge or information ready to say/give. I was walking around and approached to a guy, had a chat with him, it seemed he had adequate knowledge about where E400MMCs would go, when will they come, etc. It seems to me that one person out of 15(?) people knew this information.

I was told by someone that a person asked the NX employee "What's the recruitment process?", the response was "I don't know." Like, seriously?

On a positive note, I must say I really like the new E400MMC, having to look at it in my own eyes. As mentioned, they are planned to go on X51, 900, 957. Apparently, I have been told by this guy that 45 E400MMCs will come next year.

I know X51/997 is due new buses in January so will be interesting to
See what goes then.

Please no. I like the 49xx Enviro's.

[P419 EJW]

I thought WN were getting some E400MMC for the 126.

Who told you this? I have not heard anything about 126 or WN garage getting E400MMCs.

Love it when this begins to happen: my predictions are:

Enviro 400MMCs for BC - 900/957
Enviro 400MMCs for WA - 51/X51
Enviro 400MMCs for WN - 126 (would make full sense - it's due an upgrade)

BC prediction is correct. WA prediction is half-correct, it will be for 997 and X51 because they will interwork soon.

I personally don't think the 126 will get the upgrade soon. It's fine with the variety of single and double deckers.

[Ronnoc]

If they came to YW then my prediction is that they will be in the 50.
