4934 currently has come to a halt on the 94 due to a police incident/crime scene in Ward End at the junction with Bamville Road.
Passengers were instructed by driver to get off and walk to the Fox & Goose as it wouldn't be going any further.

QuoteBC Ward End 94/95 routes are very platinum today.  X2 branded 6833 on there as well.
Maybe BC will get the ex Warwick University ones from Coventry for them, when they leave Coventry.
I think it will be BC, YW and AG all getting those smart hybrids of Coventry so it would be good for the 94/95 and possibly 97 too

Yeah i agree with you, but they would've been a great replacement of the ageing ALX400 B7TLs and Tridents

HS2 works are starting on Bromford Drive and in the Bromford area from tomorrow 8/8/22 preparing for the tunnel construction as per a letter received. Not sure whether this will affect the X12/13 as this lasts until December and it doesn't look like any roads will be closed at present. But who knows!!. Wondering if anyone has heard anything different?

How come they are being debranded? Being debranded in preparation for the Sprint  sevice starting/hydrogen vehicles taking over or is it another reason?

Why replace Platinums with Platinums?

To be fair, it did happen originally with the X1 and X2, although that was due to the new Platinums (at the time) being a slightly different spec to those originally delivered for the 900 and 957.

I would doubt it, I believe the Sprint route is now not going to be launched until the articulated buses arrive which won't be until next year.
