NXWM 2016 Orders

[Trident 4609]

I'd like to think that there will be a 50/50 split with the streetdeck and MMC, however, I can't see it, have we really had the Wright long enough to fully evaluate and decide on definite order, looking forward to finding out the full details. [/Especially as the 126 has been mentioned a few times as a candidate for new buses.

The 126 is confirmed for new Platinum buses along with the 529 at WN. WA are also having a couple extra too. The rest will no doubt be revealed soon.

Thank you @Nathan must of missed the post announcing that one, think I'll be using the 126 alot more when they hit the road.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that any new buses delivered this year (in any significant quantity) will most likely be ADL Enviro400s.

I suppose its wishful thinking on my part but I'd like Volvo to contribute something to this years deliveries,

At least we know "Where to see our 2015" :D

I know its very early to start predicting, but I wonder if next years order would see the E400 City start being used in the Midlands, especially if the ones in Blackpool prove to be quite successful.

Personally I can't see it happening, ad revenue would be significantly reduced because NX couldn't have T boards :D

Seriously though I don't see the E400 City being that much of a success overall (London excluded) because in reality it's just a more expensive E400MMC, not just purchase price (I can't say I know that) but in upkeep, for example I wonder how much those custom windows cost??

The E400 City is a London bus imho.

According to the August edition of BUSES Magazine, the 96 E400MMC's will be 6759 to 6854, of which 6759 to 6795 will be going to Park Lane.  It says that 6759 to 6765 are due in August with registrations SN16 OUP/S/U/V/W/X/Y.

@Roy - That matches what Tony put on the main site (NX Fleetlist) a couple of weeks ago

Hi @Winston. 

I hadn't seen that.  I did searches on the forum to make sure I wasn't repeating anything, but didn't look at the main site.  I am guessing that Tony was the source of information for the BUSES entry.

No worries @Roy Tony did post to say the fleetlist had been updated with initial WN Platinum's, it's probably buried amongst all the junk being posted.

I expect Tony was the source of Buses jnfo

I know its only 6th Jan and that last years deliveries have just been completed but, what is due this year (amounts & locations) or hasn't it been decided yet?

The article interestingly also mentions some 2018 deliveries as well.
