And on page 74 of the March edition of Buses out today is a photo of a brand new Reading Enviro 400 bodied gas Scania fitted with a advert frame.

Most Nottingham buses also have advertising

Its funny how some stabdard red/white tridents have never had adverts like 430-6 and 4308, also I think 4258?

@BU07 LGO, yeah, it was 4258 - had advert frames on the offside but never had advert when it was at Walsall.

I must go and get myself the new Buses!

Rumours going around Walsall that we're getting another new batch of "series 3" mmc's without stop start and ours will be displaced elsewhere?

Can't see it myself

[BK63 YWP]

So we have rumours of a 3306. And now more platinums surely more standard buses are coming ??

Do the rumours suggest which part of this year they could be arriving?

[karl724223]

30th and 31st February. And 1st April  but they might be running late

Or they may arrive the day you post something credible, suggesting they will be long way off....

may be number 9 service could be upgraded to platinum, pennsnet already operate that spec of E400mmc , as i understand it no garage will operate both types.

It could be that WA will inherit the other 18 from AG & PN with new one's replacing those??

The E400 MMC on the 9 would then also have to leave PN. If each garage can only have one spec of MMC.

Why? They are the same as 6711-8 and the ex Walsall ones.

Incidently the rumour is rubbish anyway

[MW]

What is the logic behind this 'no garage can have both spec E400 rumour?'

How does that even make sense?

I think its engineering related. I believe the initial batch have a different engine to those delivered last year.
