More new buses for PE, 243-4 to get E200's in March.

Are they to be LWB or SWB E200s

Same as 823-30

Will they be the first e200 mmc?

No, they are the same as 823-830

Interesting, may seem like an obvious question but will they be introduced with the new livery and spec (that is assuming the interior has changed) or standard red and white to follow suit with the other E200 in the fleet??

Is it because of the tight roads they have to serve? I would say I'm happy, but would much prefer b7rles

No specified quantity as yet but roughly however many vehicles the 243/244 currently requires would be the number on order. Why a hundred and one questions about plastic?

General Call given to all Cradley heath routes to divert via Chester Road and Cradley Road due to RTC On Lower High Street

EDIT - since CLEARED

Do we know if these will be delivered in the new 2 tone red livery, or plain old red/white?

To all don't bother moaning about how dirty our buses are reason why we're having a new bus wash fitted

Do they go through the wash every night normally ?

I don't know about all, but I've see them going straight in the wash bay on their return to garage, includes re-fueling/topping up fluids etc

Yeah was there once saw the service drivers park them in a 'queue' outside traffic office presumably hand in paperwork then engineers take them through one by one.

That's what I've seen, the engineers/shunters are normally standing around waiting for them to return. There was a Merc in the bay at 4pm tonight with its bonnet up, I've seen the same with E400's as well in the past.

Imo, valid question. Will these be in new livery, or the current NX Red & White?

[Trident 4194]

I've been on both 1661 and 1677 which is a surprise. May I ask why 1677 has a strange noice from pressing the bell?

[Stuharris 6360]

1661 was on the 276 today, seen heading towards Dudley earlier, strangely it had both blinds wound to blank!
