The last 3 900/Es from town have been standard enviros so the next ones should all be Platinum. I am stuck with 4906...

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I just want to say, and I may be jumping to conclusions, but 6705 is my favourite one of the Platinum fleet, as of yet.

It's flawless! Next stop announcement not stuck, unlike others (6704, 6707)...

3 tridents on 24- 4165, 4169 and another and 4898 I thought was on the 24 but been reported on 900? Can @Tony clarify which route it is on?

Tridents are usually on the 24. No need to mention them.

Yes i'm sure i also saw 4898 on the 900 earlier.


@nxwmbusfan1999 i know they are on there! I've been on the 900 today.....

4944/4906 are on 900

Don't know what bus I saw on the 24 then

Had a ride on 6705 this afternoon and love it - really good bus - smooth running and not rattling - announcements gave up though going out of Birmingham in Digbeth - although the screens were working fine.

4944 has been sat at the Parkhill terminus for at least 10-15 minutes. I'm upstairs so no idea what the driver is doing but I'm guessing it has a problem.

15:35 - finally off again at least half hour late with the next one right behind.

Did you ask the driver why in the end?

[Liverpool Street]

Nope, didn't want to hold him up (or sound like I was moaning!)

I meant as you was getting off or something..

Weird to sit their that long though.

@Liberator9 That's a shame. Though, on both my rides, it definitely was splendid. Had 6705 two days in a row now. I'm beginning to imagine that i'll see it a whole lot more... (Least Elusive? lol.) - Also, not to do with the thread, have you managed to catch an Omnicity? 4778 was on the 16 today, and 4697 was out on the usual 907...

@clayderman

It definitely is a good bus - really enjoyed my first ride on it. Haha - you'll find it probably will follow you now - always got 1896 following me  ;) You've got a good memory - afraid I haven't, but will have to make sure I do!

Going back for the THIRD time tomorrow! I mean, if 6705 does find me again, it's really not a bad thing, for sure. ;) As long as the Next-Stop Annpuncements work fine, then that's all i'm happy about.

The wifi is good. And though, I wasn't able to stream Spotify, it gave me a solid connection to the internet and apps like flickr, instagram or snapchat, etc...

@clayderman

Would be good if you had it yet again!  :) Good chance you will - Good to hear the Wi-Fi is working as well - useful feature to have fitted to them.
