Why can't they use one of west Bromwich envrio's deckers for training instead

 I notice several platinum's appear to be causing a few problems recently?.... and not just one garage either.. 6804 failed with no lights (907) earlier in the week, 6791 (126) failed on Saturday around 4.10pm just short of Wolverhampton town centre.. accompanied by more 'yellow coats' than Maplins!. :).and  6840 was another casualty an hour later (X61).. blocking the through lane at the smallbrook Queensway traffic lights although they did manage to move it to the other end of the tunnel ??? ???

There was an X1 yesterday with hazard lights going near the bottom of Carrs Lane.

It seems that the platinum vehicles are suffering I was following 6705 on the 966 earlier today and noticed that on all 4 of the led brake lights there was a strange lightning bolt shape of dead LEDS I know it's not a mechanical failure and purely a cosmetic one but for a 15 plate vehicle costing in excess of £150,000 you would expect better build quality other than that I think the batch of platinums  (6701-6710)  that were transferred to AG are some of the best of the bunch and that includes the crimson standard spec vehicles.

(Sorry for the long winded reply guys had a lot to say 😂)

Noticed today rather strangely, 6854 only had an ad frame on the offside, and had been branded as normal on the nearside and rear. Surely it would look better with ad frames on both sides and smaller Platinum branding around the frames?

Any reason why the 529's don't audio announce the next stop until you're actually on top of the stop?

Me & my brother sat at the front of one tonight, going to Monmore Green & we had to change seats so we could see when to get off at Hickman Avenue.

Also, both Eastbound, the display shows 'Churchull Road' and Queen Elizabeth Drive'. Both correct West bound!

6852 has advert frame on offside and has gained yellow Batman advert!

6718 on the X10; I presume this is the same case on all Platinums, where "Art Gallery" and "Municipal Offices" (not sure of inbound stops) are announced by Phil Upton. Hate to nitpick, especially since the announcements do work as advertised - but I can't help but justify the blatant inconsistency - especially when stops such as "Broad Street, Sheepcote Street" are announced with the new voice. ???
