The next stop display was stuck on "X2 to Jaguar Land Rover" on 6829 earlier today and the next stop announcements weren't working on it either, whilst operating an X2 for Birmingham City Centre.

Yes they do have adverts on the advert bars.
No Platinum branding though, if that's what your asking though.

By Platinum Branding I mean it doesn't have any of those vinyls advertising leg room/comfier seats/usb charging/ and the platinum brand and 6948 never had it when I saw it earlier.
This is what I mean by platinum branding - https://www.flickr.com/photos/stourvalley/46429551111/in/photolist-23s6sCB-MnDXm8-28Spe4U-2bjDh1U-2cAmXMY-2cCWUww-2dEnjvj-PYEJVi-2b3Eo9Q-2dJe5Bi-2dJPzXV-2dJPuqx-NmDnhK-2d6RPwN-2aXH5sQ-2dmMjKs-yn9S32-ymf5Ww-29dM8BA-281rBj2-29aodRM-2a1F5Gd-29dMiA3-27iPs6E-29Zoss7-U5m5cJ-MLrZxj-29ZouNu-2a4FQbZ-29ZqgqJ-29ZozYQ-LiHpYc-2bWQj21-28Y2dLL-29Urpm9-QxgpTE-QxgvyN-2cF4H78-2byYZyy-vm2Wy6-QEtxas-QvZD33-2aZ8gDi-Qk3HUM

Then again will the non branded platinums still be getting this generic platinum branding? Given there have been alterations to the route branding as well, with the introduction of this new style route branding?

6948 in front of my eyes at Yardley only has National Express Platinum fleetnames on nearside and a red nearside advert.

Yes, it is/was on the X2.
And it does have a red avert, yes , the red advert is advertising a film - Mary Queen Of Scots (In Cinemas 18th January) and its on both the nearside and offside of the bus.

New drivers are now worthy of a post within the thread? Eh?

One of the new Platinums on the X22 today, was so tempted to get off the 23 and ride it to town. 😂

Knew somebody would say something about it 😂. He was slightly nervous but apart from that he drove good. Only thing he forgot to do was change the blinds to go back to town!

Oh and on the 23, The announcements call Romsley Road interchange Field Lane now.
Question:
When the bus gets to Serpentine Road, does it still go for the outer circle or does it just say the stop name now. I have had the time to go out and check myself
