What does the xFE stand for? Is it an electric vehicle?

I've no idea. It isn't electric, and to drive appears just like an SR

Found this on the Allison site; looks as though xFE stands for 'Extra Fuel Economy'

Where can I find the timetables for the NEAT warks routes (thinking of a post lockdown ride on a couple of their routes)

What happened to 8354 and 8355 (MX61 BBE/F)?

What happened to 8354 and 8355 (MX61 BBE/F)?

IIRC they were on lease so I believe they were returned.

Is SK15HBG (8378) with NEAT now? It's just passed me on Great King Street North, devoid of any University of West London branding

One of their drivers was at Ward End, Fox & Goose this morning asking bus passengers for a "Coneywood Lane, B34 and how he can get there".
And if this is "Bromford Lane, B34", though I think Ward End & Alum Rock are B8 postcodes anyway.
I put it into the map just now and only similar name that comes up is Coneyford Road, Shard End, B34 so presume that's the one & he is lost.
