Since when was you a moderator? If you used punctuation then all of us would know what your talking about.

I'm just saying if you had what YN64AOG had said in response to Tony's reply then you would have understood what I was saying and when have you been moderator.

Technically there are still be some rollerblinds, provided 1589 and 1647 are still at Pensnett. However, they aren't in use and are considered withdrawn, unless they've been scrapped now and the fleetlist hasn't been updated.

So, there are some NXWM buses that do still have rollerblinds, but none are in service.

That's better @BusFan94 !  Actually readable.

OK, so Stagecoach Warwickshire doesn't use rollers.  What about those new ex-London buses that deCourcey had delivered recently?

[YN64AOG]

No.

I think the last NXWM buses were the Solos?  Or the B10s or Excels.

No. The last NXWM buses with roller blinds were the Mercs withdrawn at WB and PN at the end of December 2015.

No, they are converted to LED. To my knowledge, there are NO ALX 400's or younger vehicles that have roll blinds outside of London & Edinburgh (Lothian) & a few Solos.

Thanks for the info @Michael Bevan, most appreciated.

Is there a particular reason London still has roller blinds?

Found this after a quick search of the forum -

TFL specifies that London Buses have roller blinds, although the dayglo yellow blinds are now being replaced by black and white ones, as the former are said to be to expensive.

It's all part of the more strict accessibility regulations in London.  Guide Dogs find dot-matrix displays difficult to read, so they have reverted to plain roller-blinds.
