Nope, The MD's business brief did state the buses from the 900/57 would move to PR.

My bad. But would WA's Enviros still move to BC, or was that a speculation?

I believe Tony stated that the MD's brief included WA's Enviros going to BC, Coventry and a 3rd Garage if I'm not mistaken.

Will the new 501 cricket shuttle be running instead of the Claribels cricket service they've run over the last couple of years?

There's a notice up in garage asking for drivers to put their names forward for the cricket shuttles.

Also, the platinum buses at BC look amazing. No really!

I have seen a poor quality picture on Facebook of one leaving the factory

@Matt have you got the link for that photo on Facebook?

More importantly, when can we expect them in service? And am I right in thinking that these buses will not only feature WiFi, but leather upholstery and power outlets?

I would expect buses, like any others, to be phased into service, but with these features, surely they should all enter at once? Was this the case with Arriva Sapphire 110? I understand that, occasionally, they'd have the odd other bus...

They're going to be only part leather and won't have sockets apparently.

Been told they'll be phased in as normal

What a shame. I mean the sockets, but I guess it's a potential fire/danger hazard... Wifi, and 'part' leather seats will do me just fine. ;)

That's took the shine off NXWM Platinum a bit only part leather seats go full leather or don't boffer half leather gets tatty very quickly like the seats on Diamond Value Wright Eclipse Urbans! ::)
