New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

Had 6931 9 branded bus on X10 late night Wednesday
The next stop announcements now work female voice  also blinds been reprogrammed when doing shorts it comes up part route reversed

Why do they keep changing the announcements?

The 4 street decks we have at Worcester are some of the most reliable buses in the fleet. Not sure what PN are doing to them to make them unreliable unless actually this is not correct and the odd breakdown is over exaggerated there.

A shame as my experience of the recent Wright double deckers as a passenger is they're excellent.

My prediction, Platinums for Pershore Rd, Pershore Rd Enviros for 97s.

The 97 could do with an upgrade of some sort but there's not enough just from the Pershore lot surely?

@BN will the crimson hybrids regain their branding for the 1?

I would hope that PB and BC get a few more to enable the 907 and X21 to be full time platinum. I agree with B.C Driver's prediction  that the 45/47 will go Platinum and the Enviros to move to the 97. I also predict that PN will have some more for the 126.

Would there be enough to upgrade the 94 maybe?
PVR of the 94 would be less than the 97 I think?


Or maybe upgrade the 60 as well? 60 and 45/47 would free up enough for the 97 i'd have thought?
I also agree that BC should get more so they can ensure the X21 and X70 are both completely Platinum.

During the main daytime period (in between peaks) i think the PVR for the 97 is 19 and the 94 is 13, so you're right the PVR for the 94 is less.

[MasterPlan]

Well there's 18 branded for the 45/47, so it could work then.

They look to be similar to what has been fitted to one of the recent delivery of Enviros to First Glasgow. I forget which one of those it is.....

If you look at the ADL weblink I've copied & pasted, it's a First Glasgow E400MMC that's pictured in ADL's literature.
