Thanks Tony for the info on the MMC 200s , have not come across one close up or Read up  about them, i assumed they were same size as 8xx 👍
  Further to my speculation about single decks platinum's, the X96 was used as an example thinking of low trees etc with single deck vehicles eliminating these kind of restrictions.
Just my thoughts and curiosity 😀😀

Just to shunt back a few posts regarding platinum vehicles and routes, is the said brand reserved for deckers only? Thinking about what was said about the X96 and the suggestion of this route going platinum for example, why not a platti mmc 300? Ig if ADL have one in production or another manufacturer with a full size single decker ?? Just a thought.

It is I 👍👍

Thanx for that !! What rota are you ?

 Karl724223, its happening !!  :D

Have any vehicles gone yet as 67xx are starting to appear? Some B7s and 43xx were suggested to be on the move

Thanx for the update, hadn't trawled back through in fairness, I knew some where destined for pensnett, how many more are there going over??

What service they been on today and when did they materialise at pensnett??

Slowly but surely getting less!! Are the majority at pensnett?? Or have any more cascades turned up yet??

Bit of copy cat behaviour!! You cannot understand the mentality of some of the things that we have to carry!!

That will be the 289 that finishes back at garage at 11pm. It's actually on a 141 board so that is why it is a Decker.(I may be mistaken of course but if I had to gamble money that's where it would be with favourable odds)!!

Certainly the garage of extremes with 61etc etc then contrast 1515 1518 etc etc the latter must be the worst on the fleet at the moment. Rain water pours in and vibrates like all the tyres have got flat spots on them and rattle, it's a wonder the glass and panels don't just shake themselves free of the chassis or at least what's left of it!!

Think the majority of us know the legal tyre tread depths apart from some of the maybe younger or less experienced members of the forum!! Hardly a hot topic for discussion

You beat me to the reply Tony!!  Was just going to say daily so this must be a random act by the tyre balder!!

In theory only if the 222 and x96 branding is to go by.only last week a branded 2 was on the 141of all routes!!  Digressing slightly, 6 buss es were taken out of service up to Thursday evening with various issues and there were no engineers to rectify these problems so I suppose it does limit resources somewhat and whatever buss es end up wherever. E driverless 141 trident was reallocated to the 289 service because the merc that was running the service came in soiled and unserviceable so like I say I suppose those responsible for vehicle allocation have to think on their feet and improvise. Other garages seem to manage their branded busses better though!!
