New platinum services?

[gregan]

Do you think NXWM will bring out any new platinum services?
What are your predictions?

My prediction is on the Sutton Coldfield - Birmingham via Aston Expressway (902/904/905) perhaps to be more of a competitor against Arriva's 110 service.

Knew you were going to say that!
I wonder if they will have platinum single decker routes?

Sutton Lines, 9 (current MMC's onto other PE routes), 37 (if bid for new "greener" buses is accepted then that corridor is mentioned for them).

[JoNi]

Places such as Business Parks where buses provide an option to cars in Coventry routes such as 19 Westwood Business Park.
Also a Coventry example would be 8/A, 9/A which serves station, Walsgrave business park and "posh" suburbs.
What about route 20 to Bedworth to show up Stagecoaches Darts.
I appreciate they are more likely to used in Birmingham to reduce emissions.

Exactly what I said in another thread! :D Mind you, i'm not too sure about which routes would suit S/D Platinums - logically, to me, the 58? Just to match with the deckers already on the Coventry Road.

Others that come to mind are the 98 or X64 - or as @JoNi mentioned, services which serve Business Parks, so Wolverhampton's 54/154?

Single Deck Platinums would look divine, in my opinion! ;)

But with numerous Platinum upgrades, does it not devalue the concept if you go for the loo paper approach.

Meaning?  ??? #Walsall, amirite?  :P

Surely the 126 is a shoe in.

Surely the 126 is a shoe in.

As a Crimson routs with new MMC buses yes.
Platinum no
Platinum surely should be kept for express routes

There could be potential for an express/limited stop versions of both the 9 & 126

[Trident 4194]

52 then? Single deck platinum maybe.

The 126 was longer then I expected it to be, I think there may be a chance there.

In the case of the 9 it's called Sprint.

That's if it ever gets off the ground, implementation date keeps going back

What about the passengers between Stourbridge & Halesowen that want to get to Birmingham quicker?
