They have 48 - don't forget 1931 transferred out of AG to YW - that hasn't been updated on the fleetlist yet.

1932 - 1953 + 1918 = 23
7019 - 7029 = 11
2105 - 2118 = 14

Total of 48.

7019-29 say hi

Fair cop mate!! I wondered how long it would be before someone said that!!

This'll free up some buses for cascades of it happens.

I hope this rumour isn't one of those that turn out to be fact!  :(

Replacing the Omnilinks and Eclipse 2s at AG with Enviro200 MMCs? The cascades will help to see off a lot of older single-decks elsewhere no doubt, but I was privately hoping for new double-decks for the 37 really.

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

It would mean however that there will be brand new buses on the 72 which covers parts of the 94 route. MonkeyJoe will be happy(ish) 😜

From the reviews I've heard on here about the E200s, it'd be a downgrade from the Scanias and Volvos surely?! Haha

@Michael

Haha - certainly would be if they're built and designed in the same way as the previous bunches! Fortunately the NX buses from now are being built at Falkirk so build quality should be better than before for the 400MMCs and the last batch of E200s.

Not the part I use. Why are those routes being upgraded again possibly??

Peter Coates told a public conference yesterday that the first Platinum buses should be delivered in May.  As expected, the routes are 900, 957, X51, 997, 934-936.

Nice big allocation of high spec E400MMC's there for WA. It will be interesting to see what routes or where the other DP Gemini & leather seated E400's end up

The Fox 4846

I'd guess the Enviros will go to both PB and BC to help get to euro 4
33 Asda Queslett via Perry Barr, Kingstanding, Pheasey
7 Sutton Coldfield via Witton, Perry Common, Boldmere

Liberator9

I have a feeling their E400s may well go to BC to upgrade the Pershore/Bristol Road.

Stevo

So it looks as if YW's 6148 will be followed very quickly by the first Platinum E400. Now what will that be numbered? I bet it won't be 6149. How about 3001?

Eric Shaw

Will all 58 platinum buses be needed for routes 900, 957, X51, 997, 934, 935 and 936?
