Does anyone know if a Platinum has sneaked onto the 42/43 at all in the past? I found 6972 on there yesterday, and I think that may be the first time one's ever been on there, but obviously I've not seen every single trip, so I could be wrong. Cheers.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

They're all over the place but mostly on 5, 48, 3, 89 and 13s on Sunday. But yh would be my first time seeing it on the 42s

Seeing platinum/s on the 48 four days in a row now. Obviously it is a nice treat to have it but E200s would have been better during daytime.

Platinums are better suited for a few reasons:
- Better on fuel than the E200's
- The extra space means that passengers can stay 2m apart more easily

And people can make use of the top deck.
15 passengers in close proximity on a single decker. With a double decker, those same 15 people could spread themselves out by making use of both the bottom and top deck.

What's 732 doing at WB?
Had a ride on this last nite on the staff bus, what a piece of crap this bus is its an awful shed, myself and others were saying it's like being on a diamond bus shed.
It rattled from all 4corners unbelievable racket. Drive straight to Barnsley bus breakers do not pass go or collect £200

What's your problem, just making an observation, comment  on a westbrom bus , may be you are offended by the diamond bus comment remark.

Good to see west brom garage has made a shuttle bus available for Oldbury rota drivers from 9am till 1700 , running every 20 minutes between garage and Oldbury.
I hope it's replicated at other garages too.
