Maybe WA will get 6711-18 from PN to cover the 952?
That would be nice, but the 952 doesn't need Double Deckers, full size Single Deckers do the job fine. Also it's been told that apparently the 952 doesn't meet Platinum standards. But if 6711-6718 went to Walsall it could help on the Birmingham routes.

Will Walsall have enough Omnilinks for the 952 when it moves over?

I love Walsall buses

Saw the A51 in Walsall with 4605 after I had a nice chat with @Solo1 with the A smaller than the 51 with the new display also 1768 displaying #thankyou100 on the 70 also 4736 displaying #thankyou100

Platinum standards, in that in terms of profitability/ passenger numbers then?

952 to Walsall garage, seriously ! ....... dead mileage anyone ?

Hardly a million miles between Walsall and Perry Beeches is it? Considering the dead mileage involved in other PB and WA routes
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Could probably be better expressed as '952 doesn't meet threshold/ characteristics for Platinum to be considered'
Don't you start.

Make the 952 as platinum X52 same stops as X51.
Reroute some journeys on 28 as 28A to Perry Barr one stop keeping link Perry beeches - One stop just an idea.
952A Rugeley
Via Great Barr,  Walsall, Cheslyn Hay, Cannock, Heath Hayes and Hednesford

That's just rewording what he said. What are the characteristics then?

I reworded it because it wasn't understood as written!     :o

The characteristics will be route profile, demand and revenue related I imagine; I'm a rail industry person rather than a bus practitioner, so I am relying on National Express (or other bus company) chums to provide the details!
Don't you start.

Red and white 54 reg Trident on the 937A tonight
