anyone know why 3601 is C8 NEX and not W601 like the rest?, Same for 6022 (S1 TWM) ?

3610 (C8 NEX) is an ex-Travel London Dart, and was new to Connex which was acquired by them, hence the private reg.

and of course 4001/2 were the first low floor double deckers, hence the R1 NEG & R2 NEG plates.

Was the NEG intended to be an acronym of something?

3610s reg is quite appropriate especially as NXs stock ticker is...NEX (National Express Group PLC)

Thanks for that info John ;) I now finally know exactly what the NEG stands for now and i have been wondering that for ages. Thanks again for sharing that :)

Or in the case of 4001 earlier this year. The NEG could have also meant "Never Ever Going" :D

Are WB short on Mercs? With the Presidents coming in a couple months ago and 4250 transferring from PB?

[Ashley]

No, these extra B7TL's are Merc replacements

[4130Quinton]

Anybody know if 1585 has returned to service or is it still parked up at Oak Road yard with 1577 and 1592?

[Jack2001]

Does anybody know when NXWM will replace the remaining darts at WB :)
