6701-6711 will be moving to bc too because X12 is moving to bc and X1 and X2 are going no where.

All that above is what I have heard

How can this be possible? I thought it's been said multiple times that the '15 reg batches of platinums cannot mix with the newer ones (if I recall correctly, it's something to do with the seating).

In all honesty, nothing I've seen on said persons Instagram story has actually been factually correct. Wouldn't surprise me if this also isn't just to stir the pot.

The same person also slates bus drivers (Despite not being able to drive a bus themself), states that drivers exceed speed limits by quite some way (Despite being tracked by the company), posting pictures of vehicles involved in RTCs (Breaking company policy), has publicly slated a member of NX Staff.

Do you have a link to this please?

I wonder if its the same person who was spamming my website with comments about vehicle movements which were utter fantasy.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I doubt it unless the X1 goes back or a BC service becomes Platinum.

ive heard that 17 branded and a couple more scanias are going to AG and the rest are going to pb for 8A and 8C and 65/67 will become single deck using BY and PB scanias and 4799 upward will be going to bc and some 7 branded which will become unbranded so possibility 94 is moving to bc too so 55/94 can interwork using double deckers and 6701-6711 will be moving to bc too because X12 is moving to bc and X1 and X2 are going no where.

All that above is what I have heard

Maybe if the thing with the 94/55 did happen would be a good opportunity to re number the the 55 to 95  / or 94 to 56 to make the WW road corridor number more logical. They sorted the (Yardley Wood Rd) 2 / 12 now 2 & 3 to make more logical.

Perhaps it should be renumbered anyway. 95 would probably be better, as you already have the 94, 96 & 97 in Chelmsley Wood.
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

How about: 14 becoming 54
                  94 becoming 56
                  97 becoming 53
                X12 becoming X57
                X70 becoming X59

There's already a 53. 97 and 53 presently both serve City Centre, Heartlands and Stechford.
So think that numbers already taken.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

I'm sure the 53 isn't noticed much and could be given a different number, I seem to remember the were two X20's in the City Centre for a few weeks a couple of years ago, The NXWM X20 was introduced before the Johnsons X20 was re-routed away from the City Centre
