Oddities, defects, faults - things wrong with NX vehicles (Reports Only/No Comments)

[Trident 4609]

At a guess, so that it can be evaluated on a challenging route and against standard E400 MMCs. Only the 9 and 50 have standard Crimson MMCs and I think it's recognised that the 9 is a demanding route in terms of its terrain, length of time buses are out in service etc.

Please let's not get into another 'PN is the best garage' argument. It's one of the reasons why the smallest garage has a thread that's longer than War and Peace.

Edit - smallest other than BY

Just read this post. Officially, WN are the best garage. Well 'Garage of the Year'

Hold on a minute! 4950 has last year's price branding on the sides except the front.

Not sure if this is a one off, but 4445's rear hazards are out of sync.

[Squiz1971]

4499's front fleet number is under the windscreen and in a black font instead of white. Not sure if this has previously been mentioned apologies if it has

All the things so far listed have now been passed to relevant people to correct.

National Express are watching for comments, and the Head of Customer experience wants the fleet looking as good as it can. This does not mean suddenly repainting all the tatty buses, or equally being able to retrim all those still with blue seats, although that is being worked on as well, but if you see any of these things

- missing logos
- wrong seat moquette
- wrong coloured seat backs or seat grab handles
- old peeling stickers
- incorrect prices being advertised
- missing fleet numbers
- missing route branding

or anything else that makes the fleet 'non-uniform' or just plain 'wrong'

List it on here and the company will correct it where possible

Thanks for that Tony. Here's one that has been the same for a while. 5416 is missing its rear downstairs branding after accident repairs.  The branding was never reapplied

4547 has a missing fleetnumber above the windscreen

6109 and several other PN MMC's i've noticed have part of their rear branding missing. A handful of YW's i have noticed being the same too. Whether that has been rectified, i'm not sure. Chances are they have.

Hope these help.

On the subject of missing branding, there are a number of BC hybrids with various parts of logos / branding missing.

Off the top of my head, 5504, 5507, 5509, 5515 and 5516 are all missing windscreen hybrid or Harborne branding logos from the upper windscreens. 5504 (I think), 5506, and 5516 have lost branding and logos to the rear bonnets, in some cases following accident damage.

Appreciate these are all panels and areas of glass that are prone to damage and replacement.

@Tony 4192 is missing driver side fleet numbers and 4350s driver side fleet numbers could do with changing to ones which are the correct size.

[Trident 4194]

What about on geminis where there's a 50/50 moquette
@Nathan I don't mind the missing branding on 6109, you can see out the rear which is very useful

Noticed today that the front 2 seats on the right of 4071s upper deck have the TWM moquette.
Those two seats also have grey seat backs instead of the usual blue seat backs.

4039 also has a grey seat back

I think 4972 is missing its driver side fleet number

can you get him to sort out the blinds on the l e d tridents at pn where the bottom scrolling blind is unreadable  I'm fed up of booking them of and nothing done

[Trident 4194]

Tbf I like having oddities in a fleet, brings uniqueness, soon we will have no uniqueness by the sounds of it😢

[2206]

The AG Gemini? They are currently being repainted into Crimson and being refurbrished

[Jack6101]

4962 has got a very dim display as well
