Unless i'm hallucinating, I seem to remember when the Platinums were on to BC, it was mentioned they will only be relegated to the 900/957, and apart from a school working which is part of board (?) They seem to be on their routes whereas the Walsall Platinums make their way into other routes, is it because Walsall are attempting to get them all out on the road

There are three routes that WA's Platinum's are 'allowed' to stray onto when they are spare. They are the 6,7 and 77 (Although they have only made it onto the 77 so far).

Yes, 854 (Cheslyn Hay-Brinsford Via Fetherstone) from WN garage and 868 (Cheslyn Hay-Bloxwich via Essington) from WA depot.


The 854 is two boards in the morning and two boards in the afternoon.

Those are part of the school journeys (829) mentioned. I don't think these have anything to do with a 900 board.

But they also do an 829 from City to St Pauls school after the inbound 9 Halesowen to City trip, that's what I meant.

Think @Tony has said before that they are part of a 900 board!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

With 40 buses they take up a large proportion of the WA fleet do it's inevitable they'll have to go elsewhere when needed. It'll only be a couple of years till they're repainted into standard livery anyway!
