1848, 1852 and 1887 are missing rear window branding.
1870 missing rear window branding.
4852 missing its halo.

Are there plans to update the out of date internal branding for the Wolves Platinums, where they have the old numbers showing connections to other areas, eg 54 to Stafford, 126 to Birmingham, 301 / 302 to Bloxwich from Walsall etc?

The X1/X2 branded Platinums also have out of date internal maps.

I noticed this morning the internal branding on 6838 has a large blank area, presumably where its X61 map was removed several years ago.

Plus 6796 back destination display still doesn't seem to have worked since it was new.

Pretty sure all of the ex-X61 branded platinums are the same.

Only thing not up to date on the X1 map is the 9A and 11U Coventry variants no longer run. I checked the map on 6842 this morning.

2059 has no nxwm logos on the near and offside

All of the ex X10 branded Platinums at Walsall (6711-6715) are the same too from where the X10 route map used to be on the inside.

Nearside branding on 6886 says up to every 6 mins.

[Michael Bevan]

6723, 6727, 6729 missing rear lower window branding.
6722 missing price branding on rear emergency exit window.

6112 missing front nxwm logo

6112 missing front nxwm logo

As are 6108 and 6109.

4518 has a poster advertising Coventry fares on the display on the staircase

[Westy]

Didn't take note of the relavant number, but at least one Walsall Streetdeck still promotes the Dudley & Sandwell Low Fare Zone.

(Now if the vehicles concerned still operated onto routes in that area, then it wouldn't be a major issue!)

Also (again, didn't get the number!), a Trident transfer from Yardley Wood to Walsall still proclaims that the Yardley Wood cleaning team gives the bus a clean overnight!

Is there a reason why specific local notices/stickers naming the depot concerned are stuck on the bus, when the vehicle is liable to be transferred at a future date?

Didn't NX learn the lesson from the 'WM Buses (name of depot)' era?

I seem to remember that hardly ever being an issue for long. The fleetnames seemed to be changed very quickly from memory. A few days with the old garage fleetname, then a change to the new one. The same with the old green garage code windscreen stickers and the later 'this bus I operated by xxxxxxx garage' cab door stickers in early TWM days.
