That's right @Stu I cant get away from the useless haulks normally one is usually allocated to the 20.15 14 I use a lot so perhaps this comes off a 126 mind you PNs ones are far far superior to WNs ones and a delight to use  so I cant really complain about that allocation.

There basically the same vehicles. Same gearbox, same chassis. What's possibly different other than the reg

The platinums at The farm and W/B there engine bays seem different above the engine there is a huge stainless steel dpf filter I think it's connected to the exhaust system it looks very very expensive. On the earlier ones at BC Wolves it not there from what I,ve seen on a few.

I don't know the first thing about engines / mechanics but the later MMCs are smart hybrids. The 6855-6892 batch at BC was delivered as standard but they were converted to smart hybrid later (at least most of them were). I recall reading that they were left with a large gap at the top of the engine bay to accommodate this smart hybrid technology. Could that be the component you refer to on the PN / WB ones?

It's not a Platinum route, but does see Platinum vehicles used on Sundays.

Ahh. Lots of Walsall routes run Platinum buses on Sundays. For fuel efficiency im told.

It is confusing having all these routes with the same numbers isnt it! I agree that is the proper 14 the one I am talking about is the artist formerly known as 241....

Just because you don't see them doesn't  mean something's happened to them, in fact someone has posted in notable workings one on a Hagley Road service

They are often used on the PN6, not just Hagley Road services. PN are also allocating the E400s onto the 126 it seems, which will mean they won't be on the Hagley Road as much.

Streetdecks are best deckers in the WMT fleet @Tony  and I always enjoy them on the X10 quality buses I just wish they were allocated to another Platinum route I use.

126 allocation is now E400 (57 Plates) and StreetDeck.
