War time grey is the new livery 😂

Battleship grey is the new look, a dreary sight. Least Diamond will stay in colour...

But are NX buses battleship grey ? Isn't the NX livery darker ?

People think it's funny to say battleship grey and wartime grey etc. the NX livery, whilst dull and grey is nothing like either of those shades.

A refurbishment has never included fitting USB ports...

It's literally a platinum bus. All other batches have USB ports, I don't really see why this is contentious, I thought it was a reasonable question

Yeah and it takes a long time to fit the USB ports, that's why it's not being done it's just been said to you.

I think 6717 looks really good, but I'm not a fan of the lack of consistency between liveries of "platinum" buses

platinum is dead ergo new nx grey livery. in an ideal NX world, all NX buses would be painted in what 6717 was.

Can't really tell the difference as they disappear into the gloom currently being provided by the weather! Hardly brightening West Midlands roads during the Xmas season.

Platinum no longer exists ! It's strandard grey livery on what used be Platinum spec which is now standard.

Then why is 6717 different to 6128?

As Platinum has completely been watered down and every new delivery is expected in that spec which is the normal standard.

This isn't 2015-2017 anymore!

Does it say 'Platinum' on the any part of the bus ? No !
Do the new Electrics have 'Platinum' on the any part of the bus ? No !
That's because 'Platinum' doesn't exist anymore !

6717 still has extra leg room, high back seats and NSAs whilst 6128 does not.

6717 still has extra leg room, high back seats and NSAs whilst 6128 does not.

But 6717 is no different to H1016 or E202 and both weren't delivered saying Platnium on them, Platnium on every new bus from 2015 apart from the Crimson MMC's and StreetDecks is now Standard Spec, the current non Platnium Spec ie Normal Buses will not be here in a few years anyway making the old Platty's, EV's and Hydrogens will all then be Normal Spec, Single Decks may be ordered differently, it's a move many Operators are doing across the country there Signature Luxury lines are now being made The Normal standard
