Is that 10 Private Hire vehicles from NETS, Aston, Woods or extra NETS coaches?

We're getting 10 from Aston

BX65WAJ is still showing as an Ambassador

Woods also appear to have 4983 BX65WBW out on the 230, the same as BX65WAJ.

There's a number of 65 plate being returned to the network for expansion, along with a few 64 plate examples.

The following are now at Woods Coaches (last used by Edwards Coaches):

4828 BX65WBY

Is it possible that the National Express and Tourmo fleets will be rationalised into a singular fleet numbering system. Ineed will they rationise the Tourmo system and do away with the Lucketts fleet numbering.

There's a picture on Facebook showing BV23ZVL carrying fleetnumber 365, any ideas if that has been numbered incorrectly?

BV23 ZVL is carrying No.365, saw  it at Digbeth CS today

With most NX vehicles, as soon as they are in use if you put the reg in the search box it will give you the operator. In this case it is the brand new op Jason Edwards Travel

Thanks Tony - as ever.  I was going to add that I had seen it on a Glastonbury run on the M5 on the 21st last month but maybe I hadn't . . . . . But a very kind soul has posted a photo on Flickr confirming it did a run on service G26 . The wonders of the "interweb".

Some reports say 130 but either way it is a significant investment over a period of time .Eight new vehicles will be used on a new service - Belfast to Dublin.

I beleive there's only 6 x new Scania / Levante 3's for Dublin Express, the new service will compete directly with First Group owned Aircoach:

3 of the Levante 3's are confirmed as follows:

BV23ZVU
BV23ZVY
BV23ZWD

I believe the other 3 are likely to be as follows (but not confirmed)

BV23ZVR
BV23ZVS
BV23ZVT

They will be operated by Quinns, Northern Ireland on behalf of Dublin Express
