Chuffin' Nora @Tony , they're rattling through these deckers at a great rate!

What's the average turnaround time for deckers from receipt to ready-for-service, assuming no major issues?

[Owen]

What's happening with 4763 I'm sure it returned to WB. Hasn't been in service anyway.

Been having work on its power steering I heard.

I think about a month. Tony can confirm exactly how long.

When the platinums get the new livery will they still have 'platinum' under nx branding?

It's going to be a good while before any Platinum's are going to be repainted.

dont see why they wouldnt considering how platinum is quite an established thing now; even know people who refuse to get on a non platinum bus lol

Well there's a few 2013-14 e400s that have never had a refurb. But 2015^ platinums haven't either.

The crimson repaints have had newer refurbs so older 15/66 reg mmc should be ahead of the queue. 

Pov of a passenger ~ would preferably have the longest neglected treated/refurbed = seats won't be as dirty/ rotton for people. 

(The back seats lower saloon on 4979 are abominable an need to go)

With the current service, you get on any bus that shows up! No one is refusing to get on a none platinum bus

I don't think so either, although at five ways I've seen people have a 12 pull up and wait for a platinum 9 behind for example.

The fact they go to two different destinations, could that not be the reason why?

So the 9 and 12 don't go into the city centre via the same route from five ways? broad street? Colmore row? 

Bearing in mind we are talking about people waiting for their bus, choosing to not get in a non-platinum. No one with a destination to Dudley is going to get a 9 to stourbridge

Is the 12 single decker operated? Some people will choose to avoid single decks if they can see a DD behind
