[Steve3229vp]

7515 and 7516 appear to be the first in the new livery at BC.

New livery ?

New livery ?

I believe he means the first to carry the new style of generic branding.

The 6, until the E400City EV/BYD's arrive.

Just curious if thé 6 is to get the special buses in a few months, what is the point of allocating them these buses only for another route to get casts offs a few months down the line. Always wondered that?

Rising passenger numbers surely hasn't just occurred. Would have been a problem for quite some time I would imagine

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

Thank You

That makes sense and probably reduce the pvr by one hence minor freq reduction if reading timetable right and cutting out the station

Will all the new deliveries be delivered/enter service before the 1st Sept? Or will there be some re-registrations like in 2015 with the E200MMC's & the Platinum E400MMC's @Tony

Some 19 plates will be voided and replaced by 69 plates. Don't know how many yet Alexander Dennis have a problem with their spray booth

Ok thanks @Tony. Not good then I guess but that's something that is out of yours & NXWM's control really
