Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Discussion

There are a lot of crap NXWM buses too but most have been withdrawn or will be soon Arriva have no engineering standards and never will

I'm sorry, but you're wrong, if Arriva have 'no engineering standards' they wouldn't be on the road anymore, no company is perfect, but Arriva are no where near as bad as you make out.

I'm surprised they haven't been on the phone to the solicitors on the grounds of Defamation!

Looks like some of BC's new Enviro 200s may be entering service today. 803 was heading along the Hagley Road in Edgbaston (Not is Service) at around 8.20 this morning, towards Bearwood & Halesowen, presumably to take up duties on the 99.

There are still some B6s on the 99 today though.

Sounds about right, converting a couple of boards a day until Sunday (although Sunday is a reduced service, we may not see them all until Monday) when the emission zone comes in and the B6LE can't be used.

NXWM don't run the 99 on Sundays

And they only need to check and they will find I got sacked for a poorly maintained bus and they were took to court and I won so sue away Arriva I still have all the paperwork too

801 also seen in Birmingham city centre this afternoon out of service

[Mike K]

807 and 809 (unbranded) both on the 99 this evening.

823 is running around Merry Hill this afternoon on driver training and familiarisation duties.

Incidentally, it's strange that, with the E200's shortly to take over operation of the service, the 222 was operated today using mostly Mercs, plus an E400 double decker.
