New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

Would the 907 be rebranded as the X7 as the number is now free with silver or gold branding as I feel the new branding of routes add that bit of colour on the platinums :)

If it were to be upgraded, I would like the frequency to be upped to every 15 mins and to every 12 mins at peaks. If one stop we're to be missed out then this could be achieved by +1 PVR

As a 907 user i can't see the frequency being improved, the reliability needs dealing with first. Also if it was removed from One Stop what would you replace it with ?

Why would you miss out one of the key stopping points? A place that people on that route would actually use the bus for.

You can add the 934-937 & 997 to that list. To be renumbered, at least

Do you reckon we will see any platinum single decks?

In the future maybe, when some of the current single deckers need replacing. At present there are too many single deckers in the fleet.

Or maybe not enough  of  the right  sort, seeing Tony had to get some of the Scotch ones down to cover some recent changes!

No! They also up until very recently had too many SWB E200's aswell.

The 3 x WF Streelites were required due to unexpected/exceptional circumstances following Igo's collapse & the winning of loads of extra tenders, a number requiring SWB vehicles at short notice.

Are there still plans for Coventry too? Were they supposed to be getting 10 too?

[MasterPlan]

Is it just 6945-50 at BC and 6937 at PN from the previous batch not to be done in the new livery yet?

I believe so, but they weren't necessarily double deckers, which may explain why they're not mentioned.

Haven't seen this asked before but apologies if it's already been answered. How is it decided whether buses (especially Tridents) are painted in white and blue/red or crimson when repainted, as the YW and WA Tridents for example have been painted into the crimson livery but some other garages or red/white buses being repainted for service in Coventry are repainted in the older livery?

@Tony has said a couple of months ago nothing under 4719 will be getting repainted into crimson and also I think it's age of the bus and when it will be withdrawn
