Are they that bad? 😂 Personally, I've a neutral opinion on them.

They are better than MK1 E400's!

Speaking as a passenger who uses the 907 nearly every day where the omnicitys are generally used, they are too noisy and uncomfortable. Platinums are the most comfortable followed by enviros, the gemini's and ALX400 aren't too bad, but the omnicitys please just get rid of them !!!

NX won't get rid of them just because you don't like them. The fact that they are noisy just shows the power they have and how fast they can go. Hopefully the 907 and 952 may interwork so I can have them everyday, doubt that though. The 907 has had a lot of Gemini's on it lately, saw two Omnicitys on it today, haven't seen an Omnicity on the 907 for a few weeks, constantly seeing them on the 65/67. How about you use the 7 as you very rarely get Omnicitys?

Here's the 952 timetable:
It won't interwork with the 907, also there are only 4 omnicitys left (4697 & 4781 are withdrawn so that's 33% gone) so with only 4 left it would be perfect for the 952 (3 during the daytime, 4 in peaks) !

It would be ideal to have them on the 952. The 907 and 952 should be fully Platinum tbh, but both are neglected so it doesn't matter.

Are they less reliable than the PN 9 though?

A bus is a bus surely.
Why should it be Platinum? Why does it matter whether they are a Crimson vehicle or platinum vehicle, they both  get the passengers to there destination.

They are limited stop services, i just think they should.

Have you seen how bad the 907 can be with the New Oscott traffic?
I'm sure @Steve3229vp will agree with that the 907 should carry on down College Road instead of turning left onto Chester Road and being stuck in the traffic. It literally doesn't move!

Nah, Perry Beeches ain't that special, only just warrants a bus at all let alone high spec

I agree about the 907, i've lived on the route since 1994 (107/113) and it's just left to rot. I'd have an X42 doing the 907 but not serving One Stop or Tesco and a 42 local service from One Stop to New Oscott (tesco) via College Road and to avoid the congestion on Chester Road I'd send it via Warren Farm Road, Finchley Road and Kings Road. But lets be honest NXWM will never do that !

TBH most of PB's routes are neglected. 52/A, 65/67, 94, 907, pointless 38. Even the 28, it would be good if it served Perry Beeches and Scott Arms on Sundays. I find it funny the branding mentions Great Barr and Perry Beeches even though it serves these places at limited times.

I would reintroduce the 107. Would mean the 907 wouldn't be stuck in traffic and be College Road's express service. Missing out One Stop and a good few stops down College Road. Would make it continue down College Road instead of turning left. The 107 would the same route as it was when it use to run, non-limited Stop and would serve One Stop, all stops down College Road and Beggars Bush. But that will never happen.
