I'm with you on it actually happening  ;) The fact that the X21 and X70 are shown as Platinum routes but BC decides to allocate them on the 60/61/63 is somewhat confusing. What was the point of 6945-50 for the X70 if they're never on there, nor on the X21 which doesn't get very many

Where are they shown as Platinum

I had 6948 on the X70 yestaday and there on there a few times during the week
But 6945-50 are taco buses so are used on private hires and stuff

If you mean the only garage to operate only double deckers, no. They'd still have 431, 433 and 435, as well as about 20 coaches.

As well as that 6945-6950 were specifically ordered for the X70, were they not?

Yep I will second that, though it could change soon if the spare Platinums are utilised on the X21 with the Volvos moving out
