There won't be any screwing up from ADL either considering where Pensnetts platinums are coming from.

As ADL is the parent company for Plaxton & Scarborough is an additional production facility for ADL products, it's all one.

Ah, thanks for that little tidbit of info there Dom! Saves me a question I thought of yesterday regarding if all 96 were coming from Falkirk. Answers that one!

The initial WN batch are coming from Falkirk judging by the 'SN' prefixes, not sure on where the rest are being built, may be thinking differently to where Dom's coming from

As far as I know, the first platinums were always going to be August, and in Wolverhampton. So there has been no 'screwing up by ADL'.

Yep, that may well be right - however it's by no means unknown for builders construction programmes to get behind.

Another NXWM garage, i.e. BC or WA?

Mind you, that would make no sense at all.

If they really aren't coming from Scarborough or Falkirk, the only other option would be repaint, new seats and Wifi for existing vehicles. Again, sounds a bizarre possibility.

Haven't Arriva done that,
overall it might come out cheaper.
