Presidents

[Solo1]

Wonder if the bus firm in Dublin has brought  a large amount of the presidents  for school work as a number
of ex travel wm lynx buses ended up there

[Stevo]

The strange thing is that Dublin Bus is getting rid of its ALX400 B7TLs. I wonder why an Irish operator would want a NXWM B7TL. Cheaper, perhaps?

How do you upload a picture here ?

For what @Jayzner007? If it is for the Photo link page just copy & paste the link for your picture from say Flickr onto a new reply and hey presto it uploads. On the main site only Tony can upload pictures I believe

Very interesting, Tony.  Thanks for that.  Dews' first deckers, judging by their website.  Would be great to see 4114 in green fleet livery!

I saw 4051 on Alcester Road heading south displaying hire this bus, fleet numbers are gone (From the drivers side anyway)

Taking those sales into account, I think that leaves a round 50 examples still with NXWM (if my notes are right!)..
4023/4027/4029/4031-4034/4037-4040/4044/4047/4051-4052/4055/4059-4073/4078-4079/4081/4084/4086/4090-4092/4094-4097/4099-4102
4104-4105/4109

Quick question: have Sharpes, Nottingham bought 4087 too? (I have 4089 as being sold to them). Maybe they have both.

Just me not reading my own writing properly, It is 4089

Dews have a large number of Deckers, 9 Volvo Citybuses and Two Olympians, presumably they just don't want to own up to their school buses on the website

Considering that the disablity regulations mean that step entrance deckers are no longer allowed on registered services, the Presidents couldn't be coming onto the market at a better time.

Over the weekend at some point my dad saw 4 Presidents heading northbound on the M1 near J36 presumably heading to new owners. All of them had Hunters Coaches in the blinds, not sure which Hunters it is or the IDs of the 4 Presidents involved as he was driving at the time.

Must have been another then, as 2 presidents are definitely still parked at AG visible from the road.

Still there today.

Still there today.

If 4090 went to Green Bus, those two are likely to be 4091/92?
