Has 7508 arrived?

No, Alexander Dennis are on two weeks holiday so there is a two week gap between 7507 and 7508

Can you say which routes there for at YW.

Can you say which routes there for at YW.

I'm guessing the 6 or the 35

Can you say which routes there for at YW.

Are they for the 6? Looks to be to many for the 35, as there are 21 of them and only 15 E400 for the 35.
Is the 6 route no longer getting electric vehicles at the end of the year?

If so I wander where the E200 MMC off the 6 will go? Maybe to upgrade one of the East B'ham routes at BY, 55 or 17?

If the 6 is still getting the electric vehicles, maybe the 49/76 then?

[Steve3229vp]

That's 21 Platinums on order for YW
Now I would normally say there for the 6 - BUT aren't they having electric buses in early 2020.
The PVR for the 2 and 3 is approx 10 buses so it can't be that.
The 35 has a PVR of approx. 12 so it can't be that either !
So I wonder is 7508-7528 (21 buses) for the ..... 49 and 76 ?

[MasterPlan]

Is the 18 a possibility?

[BK63 YWP]

Maybe the 2/3 and the 35? And the remaining for the 126?!

Was it said how many new Electric deckers are coming ? That could narrow it down too

Some numbers as current for interest
21 new Platinums
15 E400s - could eliminate the type at YW ??
15 Scanias - or could eliminate this type ??
18 MMC200s - could displace the Scanias out if electrics went on the 6
16 43xx Tridents (inc 4 reserve) - oldest buses so seem vulnerable

Most of those 43XX are trapped, and euro 6 so won't be going anywhere yet it was said, with the low emission zone in Birmingham. Same for the trapped 42XX at AG.
But some of the trapped 43XX and 45XX at YW could move to another garage to replace non trapped 43XX there possibly.

I'm sure I read somewhere it was 29 electrics due. 19 for YW and 10 for Coventry.

Could they be for the 6, then move onto another route when the electrics have arrived? There's 2 E200MMCs in Dundee, perhaps the other YW examples are set to join them

Dundee has 3 x E200MMC'S i.e. 2248 - 50
