It also only happens when the doors are open on the Platinums, so only as bus stops, not traffic lights etc.

I've just ridden on 6765 and the engine seemed to stop both when the door was open, as usual, but also when stopped in traffic. Also, after standing with the door open for one minute, the engine will restart.

For anyone that hasn't seen the 126 branding, it's a lovely shade of green. The same as the 957

Nice. Looking forward to seeing what shade of green the X10 will be.
Soon we'll have some forum members getting all excited over the Platinums fifty shades of green.

Since the Platinums arrived the 529s have become even more gregarious than before. Is there any reason for this?  I don't know of any road works etc at the moment.

I thought Platinum routes were supposed to have their own dedicated managers, who the public could easily approach for a direct response to their concerns?

Region's first Platinum buses hit the streets
22nd May 2015

...
Drivers of the services will also wear suits and each route will have a dedicated manager who will be responsible for making sure that buses run on time and responding directly to customers' concerns.
...

Who is the Platinum manager for the 529?

How do the public contact them?

The Bus and Coach article states that 34 Platinum buses are going to Birmingham Central which will displace the existing Platinum buses to other garages, At the moment BC have 18 which they will have 16 more. So if the 900 and 957 retain there allocation (16 I think) and the new 960 having 60 that totals 22 and with the Bristol Road express route possibly being shelved why do BC need 34 platinums.

The 900 and 957 currently have 18 platinums. So if they do retain there allocation they'd still have 18 wouldn't they?
Its not been confirmed that the Bristol Road express has been shelved has it?
