6839 on 900 in Coventry.
6832 returns to streets of Coventry seen returning dead to Birmingham. Both unbranded.

Will I guess until Sunday when the 900& 957 change to X1 & X3 and then they all will be branded with the new route numbers @JoNi

6831 & 6834 are out on the 957

6837 operated the 60 AM Peak Board

6702 and 6839 are also out on the 60

[Squiz1971]

BC14 has the Crimson Factor today newly painted 4441 & 4634 seen turning into Masshouse Lane & by Saltley Viaduct respectively 9:40 & 12:30 as well

Very shiny 4608 on 61/63 today. Think its its first day out in crimson

[GeminiFan1991]

Will the 14 be rebranded once its buses come back repainted ? I'm guessing so as other routes have retained their branded status and several routes have become branded.

Just a thought. I wonder if BC will brand some of the lower number Platinums for the X61 so the Ronnie Morgan bus 4832 will at least operate closer to Ronnie's part of the city, rather than it being branded for a Coventry Road service.

That makes sense to me too. I guess the brandings will be applied once they're all delivered and in service. I just hope there's enough get delivered before Sunday, will there be enough for all three services by then?

BC have 25 up to 6839, so there shouldn't be far away. They will only 5 more when all 30 have arrived.

AG's Platinums have yet to transfer out so could that help with numbers before all the 66 plate buses arrive and before 4th Dec

That is where the 25 comes from ie 6701-10 (10) & 6825-39 (15). There is no publicy about the 966 going Platinum at this stage

[B.C Driver]

Apparently 6 more Platinums due to arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

Any idea how many the new X61 will need? The 900/957 originally had 18 including spares, surely the X61 won't need 12.
