Could be up to 14 there tomorrow, so expect all those without anywhere else to go to be hanging around Walsall

Could Dundee use any of these single deckers surplus to requirements up there?

I don't think McGill's would want to use any NX vehicles.

Which surplus single decks?

Coventry are only able to loan buses because they have 10 to many until the X1 arrives, and when it does BC routes get another frequency increase, so BC will not have any spares

Dundee hasnt been an nx operation since 2020 mate 

and mcgills has basically mothballed half the ex nx buses anyway lol

So what buses are left up there that were NXWM? And what is the company now that operates?

Please continue any discussion about Xplore Dundee in the appropriate topic.

Xplore Dundee was acquired by McGills in December 2020:

Just seen H1020 coming through town. Does this mean they will be back in service tomorrow?

Why haven't many/any hydrogens been operating for the last couple days?

The same reason they barely have for the last 2 years
- 'fuelling issues'

Would be exactly the same. ITM who produce the hydrogen would still have had a compressor failure
