Was it a Hybrid Tony?

If so presumably for Bebbington Garage for the 109?

Nice shot there Tony - looks very smart. Can't wait to see NX versions next year.

What's the nx connection I thought nx off loaded them ages ago. Is it just sharing resources or something?

[Liverpool Street]

I was gonna say type training or vehicle familiarisation for GB-DTO's?

This is spooky - on Monday I saw a class 379 in the same livery as c2c, but with Abellio Stansted Express logos - in alternate red and blue lettering in national express font - I said to my colleague I didn't know national express still ran it and then I noticed the Abellio word..........  presumably nothing more than a canny borrowing of the NX brand style!!

Nice bus by the way.

Not sure if it's still asked, but on a job application for Abellio Greater Anglia, it did ask if the applicant has work for National Express Group or any associated companies. Same with the Abellio London and Surrey application firm, it asks if the applicant has worked for Travel London, National Express or any company associated with National Express

I thought so... It's at Wolverhampton. Evidently, from Ashley's comment & this photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/retroscania/15936858632/
(Not my photo. If i'm not mistaken, I think the person goes by the name '4006' on this forum)

I'm going to share this on my WMBU Facebook page shortly, can't wait to start reading the speculation there!  :D

Before I do though, is this actually an Abellio bus, or a demonstrator perhaps due to go to Abellio?

[Niall]

I would presume its at Wolverhampton after its visit to Miller Street because Alexander Dennis have offices or something there, don't they?

I am not sure on that one. All I know is it has all Abellio notices inside

Fair enough, I'll let others do the speculating without me giving anything away! I just wonder if it is due to go to Abellio, but just being borrowed by NXWM for either a spot of type-training, or just for demonstration purposes, before continuing off down south to London. I didn't see any E400MMCs during my weekend in London, don't know if anyone has any yet down there?
