Lovely pic, I love that little park in Meriden  8)

I first viewed the photo on my phone and was wondering why has a nature photograph been posted ! I just jumped on my laptop and after a proper view, I can see the Platinum in the distance !

I was on the 16:45 87 which overtook the 900 when it went round Park hill and spotted the sun was in a nice place in Meriden. Ran back from next stop and found a gap in the trees (easier said than done) and took shots to nothing as the bus soon zoomed by.
The other shot ended up with bus behind a tree!

The Platinum vehicles are not bad, although one I traveled on had more than its fair share of rattles for such a new vehicle.

However, the front destination displays are great, by far the clearest I ever remember seeing on any bus. If only all buses had these!

Tell me about it, having to change the colour for each individual 'slide'.

@Dom  Well, that I have no problem with... It's the fact that, on some slides, the colour that you change the font to fills the ENTIRE editor. And worse, if it's on 'SuperX', then the 'Preview' takes forever to change. ::) Long story short, I'm sticking to the normal LEDs, lol. :)

I've created every NX route and the last few weeks I've finally found the right settings for the super X displays and have now finally completed changing all the destination displays... and now they introduce scrolling via's on WN routes!!!

How unfortunate! I have contemplated doing this, and have attempted BC's several times, although, I always seem to get bored of it quickly, and carry on with some of my make believe routes...
