There's a slight delay with the last 4 WB ones because they are tacho vehicles and they will be the first buses with the new 'Smart tachographs'. I think the first PB ones might come this week

Interesting to see if it remains purple. Policy was that all routes along main trunk roads would have the same colour branding (albeit different shades) - 9/X10, 35/50, X1/X2 etc - but the X7 and X8 were anomalies using totally different routes into Birmingham.

For consistency with other Hagley Road routes the X8 could go green.

The Fox 4846

Do we know currently where the 34 remaining platinums are to be allocated?
I would've guessed 8/9 - PN, 25/26 - BC for the 126 and Bristol Road respectively. The hybrids could then release the E400s on the pershore road. These E400s could then replace the 97 tridents to go to WN and YW, PN could release the remaining MMC's to AG. Just a thought
33 Asda Queslett via Perry Barr, Kingstanding, Pheasey
7 Sutton Coldfield via Witton, Perry Common, Boldmere

25/26 for the Bristol Road seems steep, there's only ever been max 19 Pershore Rd branded buses + a couple of spares (4895-4912)

BC might get a few more for their current Platinum routes @Winston so they have enough maybe.
University X20/X21/X22 is mostly Platinum but these still see a couple of B7RLE each day, it was said that these will be leaving BC soon. X70 seems to mostly get standard E400.
Its not uncommon to see the odd non platinum E400 on the 23/24, X20/X21/X22, etc as well.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.
