No mention of the X10 or 966 there either.

I suppose the X10 already "has the X factor" and in regards to the 966, is it really an express service ?

No mention of the X10 or 966 there either.

Because they aren't changing to X routes from Sunday 4th December?

But they are both going to become Platinum routes. And now the new buses are arriving at BC, and some are already being prepped for the X10, why can't they be ready for 4th December?

966 I believe the east brum changes have been postponed guess it will be part of that. Mind you they can't even get the details behind the these changes right yet, let alone future ones.

There isn't a need to mention the x10 or the 966 in that article. It's about routes that are changing their numbers into the X series on 4th December. The X61 is mentioned as it a new platinum route on that day. The X10 changed months ago and the 966 isn't changing its number.

So the X61 will be having a new terminus, what's the point in it being separated from the 63? Surely move them both and free up Carrs Lane a bit?

Seeing 6831 behind seems strange. I still remember the 'proper' one as a child, with its unique interior. Such a shame it didn't survive.

Was just reading the Volvo B5LH brochure.

A Platinum Hybrid with that chassis would be very interesting. I wonder if we'll ever see any Platinum Hybrids.

Is the 900 normally rammed between City & Nec?
