Someone has posted on Facebook a picture of a nearly finished B5L/Gemini Hybrid at the Wrights factory

not sure if that link will work for non-facebook users

It looks as though the B5L Hybrids may be delivered in Jan after all, but the E400H a couple of months behind.

Did anyone notice the comment about a white Streetlite with NX on the blinds being sighted as well? I'm not aware of any being due, there was talk of some being due for Dundee a while back but all seemed to have gone quiet after they tried the demonstrator for a while

That works John, thanks. Wonder if this batch will keep black window surrounds once painted. They certainly look better that way, although still not as smart as the Go North East and First examples with bonded glazing.

Any chance of nx ordering some MCV DD103, I've took a liking to them now.

Doubt it, as it currently stands it's 60 more ADL E400's, I would have thought that NX may order another smaller batch of B7RLE to continue replacement of elderly single deckers etc

Sounds as thought any more Scania double deckers are now unlikely, I'd still like NX to buy a batch of B9TL/Wrignt Gemini for AG (Outer Circle)  PB (Sutton Lines) or WB (Dudley Rd/Soho Rd services)

just a thought as we now have enviro 200s lwb they could order enviro 200 swb models to replace solos just like the hotel hoppers or even move some up to nxwm depending on how many they wanted

The way things are going the B6LE's & possibly some ALX200's displaced from WB will see off the remaining Solos.

The Hotel Hoppa Enviros only seat 22 due to the airport luggage racks & also have aircon pods, would need converting if they ever came up to NXWM

I would doubt the alx200 would see further use if they were to be withdrawn only 2 are in NXWM livery and only 3601 has had a recent refurb. There not bad buses rarely seem to break down and get used on most WB local services so I would think a few b6le's would be withdrawn ahead of these as there only 13 years old and ideal for quite a few WB routes.

I know they Hybrids are in the process of being delivered. When will that be? It don't look like itll arrive in Wolves on Jan as promised.

The Volvo B5LH may arrive sooner as one was photographed nearing completion in Dec

I thought it was the other way around with WN recieving the ADL E400H, and all the Volvo's going to BC

Thought PL was getting 21 all of the same type VDL and the Volvos to BC Hybrids of course.
