900 branded 4896 Gabriella on 24.
Dulcie (4898) also was on the 24

I don't see why NX are feeling the need to give all their buses names, it's getting annoying, it takes away from the novelty of one or two buses having a name

Is this from someone who said they had names for Wolverhampton's Tridents?

Hi Tony, in my head I give buses which I am very familiar with names based on their registration plates. It is just a bit of fun, nothing serious. If you have some kind of problem with this, please feel free to let me know.

None at all, just as you give buses names I wondered why you found a company doing the same annoying?

On reconsideration, that was a poor choice of wording. I just think it's a little excessive; naming the odd bus of significance is nice, but as I said, giving them all names takes away the novelty of it. Just my opinion though, and I can certainly understand others disagreeing.

A note has gone up about naming WN buses (the hybrids I think) so maybe Matt you could simply send your list in but I would suggest the rude one you have (can't remember the number) you change to something more appropriate  :P
But I agree with Matt to name too many buses takes away the novelty....I mean the Timesaver livery started off as a novelty...turned out in the end the whole of the fleet was re-painted......and then shortly repainted again into a different livery. Should have stuck with blue & cream would have saved a fortune....and they still cannot seam to make their minds up, even with the most dull, bland, boring, unimaginative 2 coloured livery they currently use it seams some are 'Cargo White' some 'Gloss white'
As for Diamond well their Blue at the moment, at least a simple single colour......but for how long? my guess is not to far off they will be turquoise/light/dark with a yellow strip round the middle  ;D ;D ;D

There was one at the Green Man on the 23 at around 8.05 which would fit with that timing but I could have sworn it was 4895.

They should give these dual Airport / Harborne branding as they spend almost as much time on this side of the city.

Saw a BC Enviro on the 59 earlier, think it was Ruby but not 100%

I had a blank momwnt in my mind just and thought you were talking about WN 59 ;)

Is there much point of having those E400's branded for the 900/57 as they always seem to be on the 22/3/4,59 and 60

Now that Would be worth a photo! :P I think they are supposed to appear on the 24 and 60 from time to time but don't think they are for any other routes including the 59. I'm yet to see one on Colmore Row sadly :(

I know most of the time there is an Branded/Unbranded Enviro on the 09:46 60 ex City but I've only seen one occasion when they've used a 957 Branded on that journey and that was 4910 but its mostly 900 Branded Enviro's they use and before it goes onto the 60 it does the 876 from Yardley Swan to Blossomfield Schools :)
