Stansted depot

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure nx said they wouldn't buy another diesel bus for their UK operations but as far as I'm aware these buses are diesel so how does that work?

They were ordered last year on renewal of the Stansted Airport contract i.e. before the not buying anymore diesel buses announcement was made.

Oh right, that will make sense. Thanks for clarifying!

Presumably, these will replace the current Citaro fleet at Stansted (almost one-for-one, it seems)?

Thanks, that also confirms that the WMT Ltd coach fleet will not be gaining the NETS numbering system.

It's hard to keep track with the Stanstead fleet particularly, as they're hear there & everywhere, plus some are currently working out of Clarkes or Woods

8691 now with Brighton & Hove.
