Was anyone else a fan pf the large circular branding for the 11 on the Geminis ?! I just seen a photo recently and I have to admit it was great, it suited the outer circle well although I doubt it would work just as well on a Plaxton.
I liked the large circular branding for the 11 too & I agree it would not look so good on the Plaxton bodies B7's it was a shame when the 11 went out of PB to fully AG that the branding was removed and/or altered to the smaller circle branding

There were only a couple of buses at each garage with the large branding. The rest had the smaller one.

Watch out for new buses around tomorrow!
It is possible
2201; 2202 will be delivered to AG
6147 wil be delivered to YW
6703; 6704 will be delivered to BC
6144 (named after my daughter); 6145; 6146 will be in service on the 50 for the first time!

It was also confirmed today that there will be an Enviro 400 named 'Ronnie Morgan' in a couple of month's time, and it WILL happen this time
Good as Ronnie deserves to be remembered more than through his pictures & the buses he helped preserve during his life

Fair enough, but I still hope to see a 'Ronald Edgely Cox' in Walsall sometime!

Yes true as he helped put Walsall on the map bus wise especially with the monster fleetline in 56/L now preserved at Wythall he deserves to be immortalised on a Walsall E400

That's right Rob. The first 2 Geminis at each garage had the larger branding. Acocks Green had 4635/4636, and Perry Barr had 4658/4659

Thanks for confirming Rob I honestly thought there was more than those with the larger branding though the smaller branding on the other Wright Eclipse B7's was just as good

Anybody want to see the 900 route branding?

Now that I do like. Do we have any idea when they might be out in service?

Looking like 10 days time

Now that's much more subtle than the 9 and 50 brandings. Just one thing -  should'nt there be a bit of the branding colour across the front so that the route can be identified from a distance?

The 'halo' around the service number?
