That's wrong though. The last Birmingham registered buses were Coventry's Eclipse 2's.

Nah it's not wrong. "63" plates are newer than "13"

@Dom re the 81..... I have been reliably informed that the trees on the 81 have been "pruned" as per the council programme however there is currently no plans for DDs to run on the 81 right now... Current restrictions for the allocator still apply, singles only at the moment. Hope it helps!

Thank you @Driver03, much appreciated!

Saw one last night in the dark which is why there's no photo, the 529s have branding similar to the current Platinums except it's a red/Crimson colour - not too bad or obtrusive I think...


I must say the 529 branding looks brilliant! The colour really suits the livery and does to a point set up purple for the 126, it is a slightly deeper pink compared to the current/latest 529 branding, a fuschia I guess.

Platinums to enter service on the 529 tomorrow!! All baring any unforeseen issues most (if not all) will be on the 529.

That sorts the shortfall then with the transfers out from WN.

A platinum popped into Dudley bus station today presume going round the 126 route  was unbranded

One was on 126 and one on the 529 to test the next stop announcement system

The branding really suits the livery as it is not in your face bright like the old branding was. It seems to be a bit understated if I am honest but not in a bad way & its positioned differently to the other branded platinums

Platinums didn't go out this morning due to a communication breakdown, but some are going out this afternoon on afternoon 529 boards, 6764 being the first and its a late board on the 529....
