Appear to be ready to roll except tax discs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in use by the middle of next week

I notice that new buses these days arrive complete ready to roll no messing. Back In the day buses arrived half built I kid but engineers did spend ages fitting bits of equipment and decals etc it could take weeks . IMO having complete buses from factory is a far better option.

42 route looks a good one to check today. They aren't on the AVL system, so i cannot see for definate where they are

[uniquicity]

Just saw 756 on the 42/43.

I hope one gets on the 141 board west bromwich start next week

I assume the 'lower' fleet number for these Enviro200's - is because they are the shorter wheel-based ones? (i.e. they weren't ever going to be 831-44 etc).

757 also on the 42/43 in its first real day out.

Hahahaha, WHERE'Z THE REST OF UR BUS, M8?!

757. But not a Boeing.

Ha. With how slow 801 etc is then it'll be the farthest thing from a Boeing!

To bump the question that has been asked several times. Does anyone know any of the spec details of these 200s, engine, gearbox etc.?

[Stu]

My VRM lookup doesn't quote a cc figure, but it says that YY14WHE has a 140bhp Cummins engine.

Sunday allocations will be very interesting once all the new Enviros are in service. Potentially all the Mercs could be kept in the garage on Sundays
