Platinum

[The Real 4778]

The general consensus is that these Platinum vehicles seem to really good, living up to their hype somewhat. Guess I need to make a journey to the Airport !

Possibly worth a break of commute at BHI tonight then....

I had a couple of rides today - announcements were pretty good. I think the combination of moquette and leather is a good one. Leather alone is slippy on a bus. One thing, though: the stop before the Swan going towards Coventry is next to the premises of Platinum Executive Travel - Rolls Royces for hire. Expect the lawsuit next week, NXWM!

One thing I noticed was that approaching St Martins church inbound the driver changed the display to Coventry 900, whereupon the next stop announcement said 'Birmingham Coach Station' though we hadn't yet arrived at Moor St.  Presumably it's worked by GPS and thought the bus was already outbound.

Timetables changed in shelters to show 900/957 as platinum services!

Travelled on 6705 and 6707, neither driver in suits and 6705 completely silent announcements wise, fairly impressed though with the amount of side support can see the seats actually being less comfier for the wider person

I was on 6707 about 1754 from the Wheatsheaf to the Swan. Nice and smooth. Like the legroom and brief use of wifi.No stop announcements but the " next stop" in continous display was "Avis Retail Park". Slight teething problems with the announcements which maybe should have been checked prior to the buses going into full time passenger service.

900 is currently 100% platinum for the first time

Good to hear - assume the 957 may go Platinum either next week or the week after?

@Tony

Thanks - looking forward to seeing the 957 go Platinum as well - ones on the 900 are really good.
