Could anyone please tell me what route or routes 4798 is going to be used on and is it going to stay at Birmingham Central or move around?

It seems to be doing the rounds of the garages so I wonder if it's demonstrating one of its features. I still can't see why a hybrid should be tried as I don't think there are any grants available for them.

Is the Green Bus funding finished now? I see this year there is a similar type of scheme to retrofit existing vehicles to make them greener, but nothing for new vehicle purchases. Does it work differently in London, as there is still a steady stream of new hybrids there?

Already a thread, Just below this one :)

But to answer no routes yet that we know of but possibility of Amazon services.

There is a chance it will be used on the Amazon contract

I'm hoping it will be used on Cap Gemini!

Really good! Comfortable and all the kids like it!
Aesthetics aside - would you consider them drastically different than the current B5s? I hope they'll come out on something other than Caps Gemini or the 907A... :( - and with Tony's post in the AG thread, I could only imagine this [4798] would pop down there soon.

Still slightly puzzled by what it's doing at NX. Demonstrators are normally evaluated with a view to potential orders, but with there seemingly being no funding currently available for the purchase of new hybrids, how / why would a batch of these be acquired?
