I can't remember the exact numbers but their 8.9m E200MMC's have enough capacity for full size tenders (60 PAX I think?). They've somehow and god knows how managed to register the buses with a crazy number of standees.
Nexus badly need to change the tenders to seating capacity to stop the loophole imo. It's no doubt why GCT win so much anyway as they're the only operator with 'full size' midibuses.
E200s come from the factory with a very decent standing capacity. Whether it’s realistic or not doesn’t come into it… if you have a vehicle that can legally carry 60 people then it’s perfectly legit to bid for capacity 60 tenders. Nexus do all of their tendering based on vehicle capacity, not seat numbers.
