Don't think one person would have made all that much difference.

Haha

That's made me laugh out loud like a right charlie - LOLLARC

Saw it pass me in Kingstanding while on 1949.

7024 on 52s today, with WB 1949 on the 5 again!



I've heard today that PB are due Platunims next year. With one route definitely transferring from elsewhere. So I am unsure if these Platinums will be new or transfers

I also heard rumours the other day of Single Deck Platinums for another route we might be getting (this route, along with others will be having route changes and curtailments). Not sure whether to believe this one though

@John I thought PB was already full to capacity? A bit of room may have been created by the withdrawal of the Scania bendi's, but I doubt a lot

I thought that as well @Winston. As you said, there seems to be a bit of room now the Artics have gone, there may be a bit of room in the back yard or the car park, but I've never seen the garage when everything is parked up to be sure. I don't think there would be enough space for the 11 and the Platunum route

With the 6 11 boards coming back, and now this Platinum route, I wonder if we might lose a route elsewhere or something if there is not enough space.

@John I make PB's allocation 180 at present, it will be slightly inflated due to paintshop floats approx. 5-6 buses. But I don't remember PB's allocation ever being much higher than 180.

Unless something like the 94 moved out of PB, I totally agree with what you say.

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of the rumours

Would BC have the room if the 94 comes and the 99 goes to PN?
