[Kevin]

Knew it sounded a familiar number

Just to point out, the post you quoted says there will be 'more than 60' Platinums.

Ok then i got it wrong sorry

@Tony i should check my post before post, i worded the first post completely wrong which seem like i was stating fact. I was only making a guess on deliveries so again i apologise for the error

[Stevo]

We're all anxious to know what will be coming and when. At least could we be told when the first deliveries are expected?

I know what is coming, but daren't announce it before the company does, but I haven't got delivery dates yet.

How you keep the secret, I'll never know !

I'm assuming the allocations of these vehicles has already been predetermined along with any cascades which will result in the delivery of the vehicles ?!

@Tony Any idea as to when the company will announce it? I'm sure you said before the company did about 6101-6122 last year.

[monkeyjoe]

I'm sure what ever is announced will be same corridors benefiting (when did I become so cynical).

I know of one but will also respect the company and not say. Not surprised by it though.

Rumour is 529 and 126 platinum

Rumour is 529 and 126 platinum

A 529 driver mentioned the same to me yesterday morning. "We apparently will have new buses on 529."

Painful isn't it. Why does everything have to be a secret!

Painful isn't it. Why does everything have to be a secret!

At a guess, I'd say it's to keep it from the other operators which may come across as competition, ie Diamond(?)

or, to an extent, us enthusiasts; some more "persistent" than others: who may loiter outside the garage when new deliveries arrive? ... Which opens up a whole new can of worms; photographs, exploiting driver confidentiality - if they don't want their photo taken, etc...

I don't mind if i'm wrong - don't take my word for it - but that's why I think it's usually kept to themselves. I'm sure there could be many more factors which may be the reason behind the confidentiality

Almost certainly commercial sensitivity I would think. The intention with route upgrades (which are part of new deliveries these days) is to increase usage (helping Centros policies) and income/business success (for NX) - thus more complex and sensitive than simple fleet replacement I would think.
