Maybe the new platinum buses at bc havnt been branded up as they might be going to another garage maybe @Tony knows

Converting a major corridor to high spec Platinum hybrid buses only to move them on a few months later? That would be good publicity.

On a semi related note, I caught 6856 this evening which I think has had the hybrid conversion. Before I'd even seen the fleet number I'd noticed a slight difference in engine sound under acceleration - quite a nice growl. It really shifted too, but that was probably as much to do with the way it was being driven.

Better than no bus. No reason not to use a decker. No low bridges 😬

Its, Wheeleys Road the deckers can't use, I think.
The deckers can go don't Edgbaston Park Road, I saw a WB 47XX E400 on Edgbaston Park Road the other week and Traveline WM and the NX Website shows the 885 (towards King Edwards) uses Edgbaston Park Road as well and the 885 uses AG Gemini.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

4289 went into repaint as well. Maybe 4179's advert has been forgotten about?  :P

4875 still has the Pride slogan in its front upper deck window.
I'd like to see an all over AD supporting pride like 4853's, looked better than 4875.
