To head off wall to wall noteworthy workings in the future, Enviro 400MMC Platinums are now the booked vehicles for services 255 and 256 on a Sunday.

Wouldn't surprise me if another route was platinum operated on a Sunday, 59 maybe?

The spares (if there are any, usually only 1 or two) appear on the 1 Monday-Friday, 32/33 on Saturdays and 255/6 on Sundays.

To clarify what I posted earlier, Enviro 400MMC Platinums are now the booked vehicles for all four running boards on services 255 and 256 on a Sunday.  The four buses today are 6761, 6793, 6794 and 6795.

Am I right in saying that 6795 has the same stop start system to 6773 which is different to the rest of the platinum batch?  So when the handbrake is applied the engine automatically cuts out?

A few of ours also cut out even if the doors are not open. 6796 and 6800 ring a bell. It can be quite dangerous say if you are waiting to turn into a side road and want to go in a gap in the traffic, because it takes nearly 2 seconds to restart and get going. I just hope they were set up wrong and are changed to the same system as the majority of the MMCs
