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

[Eric Shaw]

There is an article on pages 50 and 51 0f this weeks "Coach and Bus Week" which reports on the Black Country cheap area zone ticket. The article has a picture of NXWM 4708 on the 47 with Pershore Road branding. The caption is "The NXWM route 47 is one which is included in the area zone ticket for Dudley and Sandwell" I know the Black Country area is difficult to define, but surely some one is way out here!

Probably a bit of confusion in the article there between the WB47 & BC47

4708 with Pershore Road branding? What?

What do you mean by branding? Is it photoshopped?

[Eric Shaw]

My mistake the bus photographed was 4908.

1877 is missing the Gold Line under the Windscreen.
4743 is missing the Branding on the front upper deck window.

6712 has a president bell.


Also it was rather loud presumably due to air con-

I don't think it does. I caught it yesterday and it was the same as all the other MMC's

Long narrow bell

Do you mean the stop button?
All of the Presidents at AG had the same stop buttons as the other buses in the fleet.

No they didn't. There were some that had the occasional long rectangle sort of shape button rather than a square. (If that's what he means).

I know this as I VCR'd plenty of them

Yes, but at the end they were the same as all the other buses in the fleet with the usual square shaped button.
A couple of other buses in the fleet also have them, 4611 has those long rectangle buttons. I'm sure one of the BC E200s has one as well, 804 I think.

Why? It's not a defect.

1 or 2 of PB's ALX400 B7TL have the long rectangle buttons.
