Can i ask what new buses coming to NXWM this year?

(i might have miss any post)

Nothing has been announced yet

Older buses getting traps and being repainted would seem to suggest any deliveries may be due after May.

Personally, I'd quite like more Streetdecks and crimson E400MMCs (Without branding). I seen 6148 today and it looked immaculate and the livery suited it well. I'd also quite like some Gemini 3s but thats just me being optimistic.

Of course we can all speculate but that's what it all will be until officially announced.

Platinum street decks would be excellent

A fleet of merc minibuses

Presumably there'll be 100 ish ADLs, E200s or E400s, as part of the deal. Perhaps a few more Streetdecks too.

Probably too many if you ask me.

Thank goodness we didnt then @Trident 4194

Maybe NX are waiting to see who the new mayor is & their policies before committing to new bus orders?

I don't think NX will be too bothered what the new mayor thinks. NX are already committed to buying new buses to complete this deal with ADL. The mayor can just say that they 'promised' to get newer cleaner buses on the road, and take credit when NX buy new vehicles.

It depends on whether this new mayor is in favour of bus franchising & intends to using their new powers.

Winston-does that depend on who wins the said election?
