Why. When there's no point for the EV charging to be setup in BC when it's going at one point.

No 97! Needs new stuff because it go by hospital

Just because it goes by a hospital doesn't mean it needs new vehicles.

Yes but where I live it is very popular

The next 500 or so already confirmed to be a mix of BYD400s and Wright Electroliners

i just been looking at the new Yutong double decker BEV with its upper deck featuring the london look very similar to the ADL design, Yutong starting to make inroads on the coaching sector, i bet they will under cut the local offerings lot of under hand dealings going on in the form of state subsides etc

I suspect the 97 has more likelihood of being upgraded with Platinum's once the next batch of Electrics start to arrive.

I think brand new

I think brand new

It won't get brand new buses at the minute with BC garage due to close at some point in the next few years.

The next batch of new buses will probably be mostly for Perry Barr. So 101 etc will probably get new buses.
Maybe more new buses for Coventry also to replace B7RLE there.

And the next cascades will probably replace the remaining non euro 6 45XX and 46XX Gemini at AG and WB.

Not in the next couple of years, they're not going to install electric charging points & infrastructure in BC garage when it's due to be closed down & demonlished for redevelopment of Digbeth.

The 97 does deserve new buses as it is a busy & I'm assuming very profitable route for NX. IIRC the 97 hasn't had a new fleet since the 03 plate Tridents were delivered new to Lea Hall garage, some of which are still on there & branded. They're 20 years old this year, although the 97 does now see an increasing amount of E400's & odd Platinum's.

1788+ were orriginally delivered new for the 97.
The 03 reg were originally new for the 94.

Forgot about the Ominilinks, still 16 years ago for the 97.

And the current 03 plate branded Tridents are still 20 years old.

94 hasn't hadn't anything new in 20 years either then.

ADL may be open to negotiation if that's possible. The new E400ev has a really impressive spec!

Looks real smart too, would be nice if CV could get their hands on a few of these and have some double decker variety instead of just BYDs.
