There are a lot of silly rumours about, as well as some that are very close to what will happen, but none have yet been signed off by the board so no detail yet

The only thing so far 100% decided is 6686-6700 will start to arrive in about 3 weeks and will be for the 22 route

What's the 22 route??

The fact they've ordered them all as Platinum spec but they didn't originally have a plan of where to put them speaks volumes about how much they value they value the brand

My only question is why there are no platinum single deckers? Got a fleet of leather double deckers and then a fleet of standard single deckers? Do adl give you a BOGOF deal for the platinum mmcs at the moment?

Or they have been well received, increased patronage occurred, full of needs for the customer WiFi, USB ports and better seats.

Maybe it's the end of the contract with Adl? So the 500 or 600 new buses have now been delivered?

Single deckers they are pretty much the youngest part of the fleet 57 plate (11 years old) scanias being the oldest whilst there are still too many old tridents/alx 400 b7tls Y regs being the oldest (18/19 years old)

You have forgotten the 55reg Volvos at Walsall.

Even though there have been a large number of double deckers delivered in recent years, in my opinion there are still too many single deckers. It's no laughing matter when you're standing on single decker on the way home when I'm normally sitting on a double decker !

Especially if you're on a route running in & out of Bradford Place in Walsall!

The 14 worked for years being single deck ftom 1990 with lynxs through to 2008 with Mercedes. But the 14 did have 26/55 helping it with Alum rock. Now it serves there itself so don't think it'll work unless increased frequency at least busy section Birmingham - Stechford.
