Platinum

[John]

Will the 907 be in the Sutton Platinum mix?

No, just the 902/4/5

No, just the 902/4/5

Will the 914 go platinum?
As 25 are due and some of the 26 current E400 are used on the 914.

That too would be a piss take

Given the number of vehicles on order (10) it looks like only the Express trio will be getting the upgrade.

No 25 are for PB.

I was wondering 10 does seem a lot less  :D

I'm guessing PB might do what WA does with their Platinums and they might make appearances on other routes, so 914 might see some Platinums 1 way or another.

If it is that will definitely take the mick in my humble view, it shouldn't be

Why shouldn't the 907 be Platinum (I never expected it to be, it's been neglected for years), it runs Limited Stop between City and Perry. If that's the case then the 914 shouldn't be either.

How has it been neglected for years?

Hows it been neglected for years?

I've been living on this route since 1994, the frequency has fallen through the floor, at least twice a week I have to get the 934-7 routes to Hawthorn Road and walk down to College Road because the 907 fails to show(and before anyone says anything yes I can get the 7 but it's on the other side of the City and takes too long and it's hardly the point really), New Oscott is a nightmare you can be sitting on a bus between the top of College Road and Tesco for 10-15 mins and hardly move.

Thanks for the information.

I don't think either of them should their are a lot of other cases that get treated a lot worse than thoose two although they are busier and if those two routes got Platinum, in my view would take the utter &*^^%

How is that even a response to a valid point?

You don't live in Birmingham anymore! How's your contribution valid when the 94 as we all know is one of the scummiest on the network.

If the people only arsed about fleet numbers etc want to know then theoretically 25 Platty's would cover 902/4/5. The BX61's would be a sufficient sub. Unless as with all mainstream media, the figures are wrong and the amount PB will receive WILL definitely be enough for all four routes.

[monkeyjoe]

Seems a bit childish to imply I was even referring to that route with a derogatory description when I didn't even make any reference to it, however each to their own.

You obviously don't use the 94!

Which Platinums are on the 126 today please?
