Just thought I'd create this thread for discussions regarding NXWM/NXC, one of the biggest companies in the country!
I notice there are a brand new range of Enviro 400MMCs for Birmingham Central, numbered 6701-6718, which will be used on the 900, 947 and 957. They look great, in an all grey theme with free wifi and extra legroom, however the 900 recently had some of the 13-reg Enviro 400s (4896-4902) are also branded for the 900. Is the branding for these buses being dropped, or are these new 15-reg batch of Enviro 400MMCs supporting them too. If the former, it does seem a little odd that it is being dropped when these buses are just two years old. Obviously they may still appear on the route but I wonder why after just two years there are newer buses being branded.
Furthermore, I'm disappointed to say that some of the Sutton Lines vehicles (4914-4939) are looking very sorry, with various vehicles having graffiti marks etched into the windows. A real shame, as these are nice buses and only a year and a bit old! (63-reg).
I also notice that 1787, 4045 and 4074 are off to Dundee, and that 4322 is being transferred back to Wolverhampton from Coventry, which seems like a major effort as this was repainted from NXWM to NXC colours!
