NXWM 2016 Orders

[2206]

My personal reckoning is the Suttons going Platinum which will displace the E400s on their onto 65/67 whose Gemini's will make their way to AG alongside (Probably) the 94

So if and when the 6 11 boards move to PB what would they use on it?
I would of thought it would be the Gemini

16, 94 or, 101 could possibly move out of PB?

PB need to loose the 35 x 51 plate B7TL/ALX400's before anymore Gemini's

Maybe the Alx 400/b7tl will be split between WB (5) and YW (49 and 76). Are the presidents on their final year?, will we start to see the withdrawal of the Y reg tridents or send them to dundee?

Another idea. MMC's on the 51 and 33. 61 plates from those onto B7/ALX routes. B7/ALX to WB for Presidents and also WA to displace Tridents to YW for their Presidents.

WB already has 24 on it's own B7TL/ALX400's some of which may need to be moved off central B'ham routes

I also expect the majority of next years orders to be double deckers and more than likely more E400MMC's.

I expect BC to gain a batch of new double deckers for either the Bristol Rd as the 97 now appears to be gaining refurbished Crimson Tridents - Y-reg Tridents out (34 still at BC)

I expect WN will gain a new Crimson fleet for the 126

YW will gain a batch of either new or nearly cascades as it must have one of the oldest double decker fleets with 13 x Presidents & 47 x Tridents (02/52 plate) = 60 from a total double decker allocation of 97. I'd expect those to go on the 2 & 3.

AG may gain a batch of new double deckers or newer cascades for the 5 & 31. Outer Circle will not receive anything new for some time with new branding only just being applied now. Presidents out

PB may gain a batch of Platinum's for Sutton Lines to compete against Arriva's 110 Sapphire route, 63 plate E400's cascaded on to 65/67 or 94 to release B7TL/ALX400's from PB

I'd expect Dundee to gain a small batch of new double deckers (max 10)

NXC may also gain a batch of new double deckers

The above will all be dependant on the outcome of the Greener Bus bids for Electric / Hydrogen Fuel Cell & retro-fitting 200 existing buses with Euro 6 traps.

Its like you read my mind

[Liberator9]

YW will need to have something emissions compliant for 2017 for the 2 and 3 routes - Tridents woouldn't be suitable - more likely require some E400s or something new would be even better. Then the displaced Tridents off the 2 and 3 would replace the Presidents there.

[GeminiFan1991]

It's fair to say wherever the buses get allocated, NXWM will need a lot of buses

[James4368]

I was thinking to myself

would NXWM decide to purchase from Wrightbus order Streetlites or Streetdecks

IF they did, I really doubt Streetlites. No real need for new single decks atm but plenty of doubles to replace Presidents and maybe early Tridents

About Streetlites. Withybrook rumours of a Wrens Nest and Wollaston Farm circular and the X96 doing Stourbridge to Durley there may be a need for them as B7's wouldn't really be needed for such short routes and with the regular E200's are they still being made?

I hope the e200s have stop being made!!!

[S570]

I wonder if CVs Citaros will make it to 2017. If not, I guess there will be plenty of buses that could replace them.

Also wonder whether CV might get a few singles, as there are some routes that are better suited to them that currently use deckers.

Just the new E200 MMC being built now.

Just a thought, and some very wishful thinking - but single deck Platinums? I know it's silly, and obviously won't happen anytime soon - but like I said, just a thought. Of course, only because Arriva Sapphire, Stagecoach Gold, etc... has both double and single deck operations. Unfortunately, I can't think of any single deck service which could benefit from SD Platinums. 58?
