NX 2013 Bus Orders

Typical PL gets the short end of the stick as I had said before would be suprised if the hybrids go to PL see its all Birmingham.  Always happens when an emission zone comes in or quality agreements other areas suffer PL has has no new deckers for ages and run the oldest LEZ buses into Brum.  The 126 was the last to get rid of Metros.

What are you whining about now? Rob already stated:

Just had an update, 9 new Volvo B5LH to WN delivery beinging mid-feb.

12 new ADL E400H delivery mid-march as already posted.

So WN ARE getting new hybrids, its just which ones they're getting has changed.

Plan A seemed to be the far more sensible option of concentrating the two different types of Hybrids at BC (Volvo B5LH) & WN (E400H) respectively.

At least WN are still getting the Hybrids....

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

Plans have changed!

Well i think it's only fair that WN get all new buses

It's okay!

Maybe the exchange will happen once all the new hybrids have been delivered, or maybe both garages will have a mixture of both.

Let's get it straight.  There never has been any plan by NXWM management for BC to get all of the Volvo hybrids and WN to get the E400H's.  This was just an assumption made on this forum.

I thought that the Express and Star had said that there will be 21 E400H heading to Wolverhampton for route 1.

From both a passenger and driver perspective, which garage has drawn the short straw?

The Express and Star wouldn't know what a E400H is.  I think they said that the 1 would be operated using hybrid buses.

Wouldn't it be sensible for WN just to have one type of Hybrid, then the mechanics and drivers only have one new bus type to get familiar with.

Pensnett always used to be last, how things have changed!

Give it a rest... Look at the state of Wolverhamptons fleet, you'll soon realize why they get nothing new!
