Including the extension to pensnett? @Nathan

7 boards. Booked Tridents.

@Nathan  thanks for the clarification, makes you wonder why they have started to use the unbranded MMCs on the route and putting the Tridents on the 9? You would have also thought that they would have tried to use the Crimson Tridents if they have to use them at all.

Really it should be, 5 MMC's and 2 Tridents on the X10, so the Streetdecks are effectively a straight swap. Obviously that is living in an ideal world where everything is FFS.

That's soon been emptied, I doubt NX will need so much reserve fleet storage space going forward, as any vehicles being withdrawn from now are more common types in the UK and should easily find buyers on the secondhand market.

Not sure about the Tridents. The market seems to be flooded with Tridents and B7TLs of Plaxton/Alexander bodywork.

Would NXWM ones be worth more simply because they're not from London? Also the fact that they ain't dual door?

The refurbished ones would add value. The appeal would come from the fact the buyer doesn't pay for single door/possible DDA mods/any other potential flaws that come with London buses.

Yes, there's loads of ex London Tridents & B7TL's around but these all need converting to single door format. There's not so many on the market single door from new

A numer of Explore Dundee Presidents have already been sold for further service to an operator in Ireland.

@MasterPlan a West Brom bus operates the 140 everyday on a morning peak board. Not only this but the bus isn't branded for the 79.

Then maybe they should remove the numbers 75 ans 79 from the side of the bus then?

They're not going to unbrand a vehicle just for the once it was used on the 140.

There are no 79 branded vehicles

I didn't say that. What I'm saying is they should remove the "to Wednesbury on the 75 & 79" bit...
