Claribels have YJ54CKL. @fleetline6477
NXWM have double deckers that can do Private Hires.
Zara Travel as well.

I did say in my post ..a fleet of double deckers... Claribels have 1 double decker, Zara 2 or 3. I suppose you can also throw into that mix Coastal Liner and Grosvenor. I agree NXWM do have a fleet of double deckers, Private Hires are obviously not a present priority as they wound up the dedicated fleet of private hire buses some years ago. Also they don't have spare capacity otherwise why are they hiring buses from Green Bus this week-end to do the Ricoh Stadium park and ride and only about half a dozen buses have tacographs.

Have they just hired the buses from The Green Bus? As in, have they just outsourced to TGB or literally hired buses and have put in NXWM drivers?

Tony had recently provided a list of tacho fitted buses.

"AG 2201/2 & 2120 have tachographs
BC have 6701/2; 4634 & a B7RLE
PB have 4777-81 & 1847 (not sure if 1844-6 have current tachos)
YW have 6147/8 & 3225
WA have 4127/8 & 4737; 4776
WN have 862; 863 & a trident
Two of the 47xx E400s transferred to WB have tachos, but they are not currently calibrated, so cannot be used at the moment
CV have two tridents, but they are not currently calibrated"

so no it is not all Platinum vehicles

Yes, when it was at Acocks Green. Plus it was also repainted and retrimed.
