Just to shunt back a few posts regarding platinum vehicles and routes, is the said brand reserved for deckers only? Thinking about what was said about the X96 and the suggestion of this route going platinum for example, why not a platti mmc 300? Ig if ADL have one in production or another manufacturer with a full size single decker ?? Just a thought.

There's no reason why there couldn't be a Platinum spec single deck version, seating capacity will be reduced slightly due to increased legroom. Just can't see NXWM needing many new single deckers for a while, as their oldest single deckers are the 2006 (56 plate B7RLE's @ WA & Dundee), focus will no doubt be on removing the Euro 3 double deckers that won't be being repainted/refurbished from service i.e up to 4424. Plus I can't see Pensnett gaining any more new buses for a while, as it already top of the leader board in terms of average age.

The E200MMC is a full size single decker. A-D haven't produced an E300 for some time

Thanks Tony for the info on the MMC 200s , have not come across one close up or Read up  about them, i assumed they were same size as 8xx 👍
  Further to my speculation about single decks platinum's, the X96 was used as an example thinking of low trees etc with single deck vehicles eliminating these kind of restrictions.
Just my thoughts and curiosity 😀😀

To add to what Tony already said, the Enviro200 Euro6 (MMC) is available in a variety of configurations, so can be built as a midi-bus or full length single decker:

Sorry to sound like an anorak but is it the full "the next stop is... Such and such" or just the name of the stop. I've said before I do prefer the first option.
