They're going down to the Olympics (as has been said God knows how many times) so there's no point in them entering service up here, only to be taken out of service weeks later to go to London. And as CX54 said, they're likely to need PDI's etc before going down.

Strange that they seem to be doing the pdi's at manc a depot that is nearly closed

would have thought LS would have been better after they did some pulsars on the

last new batch

He really is an idiot, if he'd bothered reading this thread properly instead of posting garbage, he'd know buses are going to the Olympics first.

3109 etc Birkenhead all going London

Any news on the B5 Hybrids?

My god if you actually read this forum, answers to the above have been mentioned!
The Hybrids aren't due until next year for Birkenhead at least AFAIK

January 2013 they're due, along with the Man EcoCity's for Runcorn. It is at that point, when the "Merry-Go-Round" of buses begins, and a lot of Dart's are withdrawn.

Ad-blue, which is a fuel additive made from concentrated urea which improves the burning characteristics of diesel, resulting in reduced particulate emissions.

No point crediting a source if they want to remain anonymous!

RE: New Buses for Arriva North West and Wales
Regarding why PDIs may take place at Manchester - it's effectively an empty yard with few other buses needing anything done so they can spare the time and resources to get PDIs etc complete. These won't have taken place whilst at Heysham so will take place here before they depart for the Olympics. If they went to LS for the same treatment, it may take much longer as they have their own full fleet to tend to.

they still want the information to get out but on a quiet scale, think would you like to know whats going on or not at all?

I doubt it, he posts garbage like that to boost his post count, he's irritating.

I know i asked a similar question but i stopped looking at the Forum for a couple of months & missed the news, as i was getting fed up with some of the waffle rather than fact on the main section.

I don't think that it's to "boost his post-count" - that doesn't even exist on this forum anymore! He just doesn't read what's posted and asks for information that we don't have! He does it right across the board. When he's told something, he ignores it, or doesn't pay any attention to it, and asks again and again! It's irritating.
