Have Epsom Coaches & Harry Shaw lost some NX diagrams?

Will there be any change to WA's NX requirements from Feb? As I notice the 385  & 545 are being withdrawn and combined to form new service 555

Wnston,

Harry Shawa haven't run Nat Ex since 7th Dec. Unfortunately they lost there diagrams. All coaches were handed over to Nat Ex.

Thanks BN, wasn't aware of that.

I assume NX have taken the 230 in house?

Did Harry Shaw operate anything in additiona to the 230?

230 Was won by Chalfonts, I believe Harry Shaw only did the 230.

230 went back to Chalfont at Northampton

230 went back to Chalfont at Northampton

I take it that Chalfont have had 8 x new NX spec coaches recently delivered to operate the 230?

I assume the 8 ex Harry Shaw 65 plate tri-axles taken in to NX Ops are for fleet replacement
