The 94 does perfectly finewith the Geminis it has now. It will look smarter when they are all repainted. The same with the 97, the Tridents look immaculate

I agree in regards to the 97. It's the closest route to my house and it's been Tridents ever since I've known the route back in the 96/97 days. I don't have a problem with the buses and the new interior is an improvement on the old.

I caught the 94 last week and the passenger thought it was a new bus to be honest both liveries look smart. Though I doubt there will be many or if any platinum buses in the 2017 deliveries. Though with the EU regs coming in next year for emissions I would not be surprised if nx acquires new Streetdecks long with the MMC (what's left of the deal)

No wonder that route needs subsidy  8)

Surely these passengers who think it's a new bus can see the number plate?

It had new Omnilinks as the main allocation from 2007 till Lea Hall closed in 2010, so it hasn't had Tridents as the main allocation since when the 96/97 operated.

Being pedantic, I seem to remember Tridents being used on Sundays during this period

Bit of a shame that the bus named after Ronnie will spend its time on the X2, and not the side of the city that he was from. It would have been nice if the lower numbered ones had been branded for the X61.

Will 6850 - 54 branded in time

Regarding the stop/start feature. How significant will fuel savings be when you compare one passenger getting on/off en-route to a heavy loading at the city centre or outer terminus stops?
