Platinum

I haven't got the magazine so will these "rims" be used in service?

Yes, they're having alloy wheels

They should look quite effective against the darker exterior Platinum livery.

Platinum colours are too dissimilar to Kings Ferry latest VIP colours

Any special cleaning arrangements for these

Yep, make sure they stay clean ;D

I also believe that much more frequent and regular checks will be carried out to ensure that the alloys are not suffering any structural damage from the pot holed roads... That is however just a rumour I have been hearing.

I can just see the cleaners polishing the alloys and keeping them looking mint

Have a look at the current fleet, you will notice a lot of vehicles now having the wheels kept clean

Makes a massive difference

The only reason they black is from months of shit on them

New wheel nut indicators and the hub painted black really sets that apart

One for Tony to answer if he knows. When the next Platinum buses start to arrive,are they going to be numbered from 6759 upwards or not?

Fleet numbers are already on the fleetlist, along with the registrations on some of them

to be honest there should be no reason for filthy wheels. it makes it harder to spot defects plus appearances. the quality of the current repaints look really good, so clean wheels and minor bumps repaired in correct colour will definitely improve the image

I hadn't looked there. Therefore I will do. Thanks very much.

Clean wheels

I notice now when we take buses back to garage at west brom whilst refuelling and if it's a wash day the slaves spray a solution on the wheels before the bus enters the wash.

How do you know there wasn't a defect?
