Blimey - any detail given or just 'new buses on order for late 2017'? Or is the entire workforce sworn to secrecy?

probably more like the "tease the enthusiast" game again.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

You missed the next line out which is sure to wind a couple of people up!

They will run between Harborne in Birmingham and Birmingham city centre from January 2018

Hopefully that includes the 29 too, single deckers are so impractical at peaks.

Are they the buses due by Christmas to go in service in January or on top of the buses ordered for Christmas?

Hope they are Streetdecks

From a completely selfish perspective: magnificent.

(About time Harborne had some new buses  ;))

I guess it remains to be seen how many will be branded, but this could potentially be the largest batch of buses with common branding since the orange 'Network Harborne' branding on BC and YW single deckers in the late 1990s.

He was speculating as to where the existing B5LH hybrids might be used.

I think the 60 would look nice with them. 97 is fine with its Crimsons.
I think they should be used for the 14.
