Sorry if I sounded blunt :) I suppose it is branding in a way? But then again you could argue its just advertising? The Ticket advertising E400's operate regularly on other PB routes? Has it been posted in the PB Garage thread?

Don't be sorry, it's alright. :) That's a good point, actually. I'm debating myself as to whether it is a branding or advertising. It is sort of both in a way. :x I just had a look in Perry Barr thread, it has been mentioned by Nathan4775. Oops. I was on X51 to Walsall and saw 4932, it was a moment I put a comment without checking if it has been mentioned or not. ;)

For future reference, I will post in Perry Barr thread if I see an advertising bus again. :)

In my opinion, I won't really say that the 98 on the 99 bus is 'off route'. Yes, it is meant for the 99, but it also mentions the 98 interworking from the Q.E. Hospital, so in some aspects, it's a dual branded bus. Good spot though.  ;D

I don't think there's much use of the 1 being branded anymore, they're always seem to be on all the other routes apart from the 1! lol. I shouldn't say much, I don't go to Wolves that much anymore...  :P

The 1 branded E400H's are usually on other routes to replace breakdowns (This occurs usually in the evening but still not that commonly) and sometimes allocated to the 59 on Sundays but not very regularly at all. They are branded for the 1 as I can tell you they do spend 99% of the time on the 1. The 59 usually has B5's and Tridents on Sundays but if a B5 isn't available to work a certain board then a trident or occasionally an E400H substitute but this doesn't happen much anyway so yes there is use for them being branded. :)

Even the unbranded B5's stick to the 1/59/126

Sorry. :) I didn't realise... I do see unbranded B5's on the 126, near the Markets & Broad Street, but not so sure about the branded ones. :P

5414 could do with a clean inside now, coke or coffee splashed up the back of the seats at the top of the stairs.

That 99 board does 1/2 a 98 as confirmed with that Blakey bloke (GP driver) some weeks back.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
