Platinum

I noticed earlier that 6719 and 6720 have the offside branding missing on both vehicle's. I might be wrong, but does anyone know if these are having ad frames installed? Or is it just panel repairs?

6795 has had its branding removed.

Wonder if any will have an all over ad or will they be kept grey

Some Walsall Platinum's have now had advert frames fitted to the offside of the vehicle. So far I've seen 6720 and 6757 (which both have an advert on the frame) along with 6758.

Is the X14 going to get branding? I am asking because I noticed our allocation sheets mention X14 branded Platinums as the allocation for the running boards. This just used to read Platinum before

Platinum website seems to suggest it's Grey/silver

I know its revenue to the company but having these adverts on these premium buses IMO it makes them look less premium less classy ,when platinum was launched the dark colours were meant to reflect executive cars, you don't see executive cars with garish crap plastered on its sides do you now.

Unless it says Uber

I think it's a shame they spoil the image like that. Fleets like Nottingham, Brighton and Hove, Reading and others can do without advertising on their entire fleets.

Unfortunately, that's not true with Brighton & Hove these days.  Most unbranded buses now have advertising frames.

I'd be willing to bet it was an advertising company that first approached NX saying they'd pay more to put their adverts on "premium" buses, and being money NX probably hard put to say no
