Today I would like to focus on the National Express platinum buses. These cover the X51, 900, 934, 935, 936, 957 and 997

So, what makes Platinum different to the other buses? Well, you'd expect the drivers just to wear a normal uniform, but on the Platinum they wear suits (yes, suits).  Other features include WiFi, greener buses, extra leg room and comfy seats amongst other features (http://nxbus.co.uk/west-midlands/information/welcome-to-platinum/) on their ADL Enviro 400MMCs

Meanwhile, linking Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon the X20 is known as the 'Bard's Bus' which like the National Express in Birmingham, also uses ADL Enviro 400MMCS.
