How come the 61/63 doesn't interwork this time around? Is the case with others too? Do the 23/24 interwork?

23/24 don't inter-work in the day, at least on the current summer timetable, but do inter-work on evenings and Sundays.

Because it doesn't need to.

Wasn't X70 meant to be a platinum route because it's a express route and normally has a platinum bus on there every day and in my opinion I think 60 should be a platinum as it normally has a platinum allocation on it

There probably aren't enough Platinums at the moment but it may change in the future.

The ones that are used on the 60 are just spares, the X70 only gets Platinums on weekends.

I can't understand why spares are used on the 60 instead of the X70 and X21.

61 and 63 have platinum next stop announcements.

Off course they do. The branded buses have the equipment

Not really an of course though is it?

They have Platinum announcements not the other voices heard on the 1,4,222 or the old 22,23,24 announcements.

I've had a couple of hybrids this week and none of them have announcements.

Hardly going to be a Black Country voice on the Bristol Road is it... ::)

Didn't say it should be? Simply saying non-platinum routes with announcements have a different voice compared to platinums. Plus i mentioned the 22,23,24, didn't know that was a Black Country route?

Half of your mentioned routes are black country routes so...
The 22,23,24 that used Phil Upton, who hasn't recorded any routes for NX for 7 years? To quote yourself in the Metro thread... "common sense would prevail"!

Did the 24 even have announcements? Wasn't it only that 22/23 that had them?
