What`s happened to the connector bars? 

Not strictly on topic but since the 107 became the limited stop 907 the service has deteriorated with unreliable timekeeping and long waits even at the Birmingham city centre terminal. If you're waiting on the Sutton side of New Oscott for a 907 to Birmingham you can go anywhere provided its to Walsall or West Brom!!

Tony having seen the photo of 4176 is there a difference to the standard livery? If there is it`s not obvious and I`ll ask yet again are NX contemplating a livery change?

Have asked before but no one seems to have a clear view. Exactly what is the purpose of these repaints? Is there a rethink on the current livery especially to get rid of the white? Already one or two of the new deliveries are looking a little `off` white!

The blue is preferable to green but still looks a cheap job. Rather than branding I would hope a new livery would be developed to get rid of the 'white' which looks 'off' within months despite any amount of washing. Whoever designed white into the livery of a company operating in city areas shouldn't be allowed near a drawing board again!

Nobody seems to know who has the order for the 30 new midi buses. What's the secrecy for? Most of the large groups are more than happy to gain publicity from their new bus orders. Why not NX?

But does anyone know what NX are trialling the liveries for. Are they considering a change. Can understand if they are. The white of the current livery spends most of its time masquerading as `off white` or even `grey` even after a wash. Terrible choice of colour !

Any more out on the road yet in addition to 4177 on the 97? Does any one have any idea whether NX are considering a wholesale change to the fleet livery if not what exactly are they doing, it can't be cheap to put  'one offs' on the road?
