Would be surprised with the 529 having competition, as no-one has stayed on there long term against Nx!

Do we know if anything resulted in the Gemini 3 demonstrator being at NX ?! Their is some potential of it being part of some deliveries this year

DAMN IT! Thought that was an announcement.

I feel as though a proper announcement is now imminent

At least we know how many and sort of when - this summer. Sort of where, too - Black Country routes.  The current Platinums are on express-style routes, so will they create some more or put these vehicles on routes like the 126 and 529?

I feel as thought, they'll probably get standard crimson buses

It would have no major affect. The 126 goes the most djrect way currently. The only way they would do it is makong it limited stop and even then it wouldn't be used as much as I can't imagine many people using it IMO.

It would just throw up the "you missed me stop" or "can I get off here" rubbish.

Mate that still happens to this day on the X51, so shouldn't count as an excuse to not do it

"X51 has experienced a 25% passenger growth" - its all well and good having platinum buses with extra leg room but the x51 needs all the capacity it can get! Stand in town on any evening during the rush hour and see how packed they are!

Its because its an express service most people just want to get from Birmingham to Walsall in a quick and cheap time so they get the X51. If the 51 went platinum I doubt it would see massive growth imo.

They need to get a move on with this frequency increase its apparently getting because its at capacity now in the rush hours, it cant possibly grow any more if nobody else will fit on the buses!

Presumably, the delay will be down to lack of new / spare buses
