I'm told its parked at Wolverhampton garage this morning

Let the frothing commence lmao...

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?

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?

Could be this

" Route 109/N109: Contract Awarded to Abellio London with 25 New E40H/Enviro 400 MMC hybrid double deckers operated from Beddington Garage" from Late January 2015

I just checked on my VRM lookup and the pictured bus, YY64GXG, is a 8.3L diesel, not a hybrid (registered 27th Nov 2014).

Unusual then, have checked the Tenders due over the next few months and all buses are due to be Hybrid?

Maybe is just a demonstrator then. Will be interesting to see how long it stays in the Midlands for, as I don't doubt ADL would have some kind of non-TFL spec Enviro for NX to 'play' with. Another bit of speculation could be if NX were thinking about dual-door models to speed up loading and unloading?

[Stuharris 6360]

have just asked on London Transport forum and am told it is more than likely a Demonstrator that appeared at the Abelio Walworth open day a few weeks ago.

When I drove past BC yesterday night this E400MMC was parked in the dead bay in the bus park.

Did it say that? I doubt it's an 8.3 litre diesel as that engine was discontinued in 2006 or 2007. It's the 6.7 litre now.

PE, mmm new deckers for the 53 i wonder?  ::) ::)

So a couple of days after it first arrived does anyone know exactly what our 'visitor' was doing making a tour of NX garages? Tony? Is it still around?

Still at BC a source has told me.

[YWDriver]

It was at Yardley Wood this morning, managed to have a look around it and I must say it is pretty smart.

The Juratek website is wrong. If you go to https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ you'll see YY64 GXG has a 6.7 litre engine as have almost all E400s.
