New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[arrifirststage]

I was also on 7156 and it was no better, a powerless engine screaming it's head off with seats that might as well have been wooden benches, bring on the 56 plate cascades from Walsall!!

Good Lord.......a Scottish McBob.

Earlier in the year, a statement regarding the new deliveries from NX Bus said there would be an average of one new bus per day over the summer months.

The delivery of E200MMCs appears to have come to a resounding halt following rejection of 2201 and 2202 - and now the Platinum E400MMCs seem to have ceased delivery. The knock on effect on cascades to Dundee appears to be significant - is there some problem with ADL or is this a planned break in deliveries?

Although there are no deliveries expected this week, hopefully 6 new buses will arrive next week

That's good news - thanks Tony.

For x51/997?

[Liberator9]

Considering the 957 still hasn't gone fully Platinum, expect they're the last lot for BC. Could still be a while till the E200MMCs come down by the looks of it.

[Tony]

That's good news - thanks Tony.

And 10 the following week (hopefully)

[Liberator9]

Sounds good - hopefully that includes some E200MMCs - hopefully any issues have now been sorted out by ADL.

Does anyone know if another delivery of E200s is planned next week? Presumably the Yorkshire factory isn't affected by the Falkirk 2 week shutdown.

I went on a New Routemaster today - one of the earlier ones. The body had a noticeable creak, there was a noisy knocking from the rear end and the audible announcements were gibberish. Perhaps what they need down there is a bit of Platinum quality!

Some more due this week first!

Yes, some next week as well

The Mayor has been criticised recently as the New Routemaster allegedly have 5 times more emissions than a standard hybrid bus!

That makes a Plaxton sound good !

Never really expected pink branding for the 37... Nevertheless, the look nice. The destination display 'halo' certainly looks better, being more of a rectangular shape, resulting in the outline of the display better, imo. Still. Something, to me, feels odd about E200's on the 37. ???

Same here, I think of the older vehicle when I hear E200 and then I think its a busy route with a small bus ! :-[
