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.

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.

757. But not a Boeing.

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

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

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

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

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

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
