One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Would you be willing to say which vehicle type? Or would we have to wait and see? ;) :D I'd be willing to skip school for this. lol

It is not the launch of Platinum, that is a few months off. It is to do with the council launch of 'Birmingham Connected' see http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/bmap It is basically just an advert of what NX wants to do to improve public transport in Birmingham

monkeyjoe

More of Mr Bore, hope it goes well. About time I saw where council tax goes.

Now that is undeniably smart. A real livery.

That is really smart, they could do that on some ALX400s!
