New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[Busboy105]

Will the new YW6 buses be painted in the new WMBus livery, Platinum or Crimson?
Also the buses that have branded this year (9,11A/C,50,82,87,X10), is that the branding that NX came up with or was they told by TFWM? (Because they have the little hexagon pattern.)

6 are in a version of platinum

The branding is an NX design

Ok thanks Tony.
One more question: The mayor has said that all buses have to be in the WMbus livery by 2022, will the buses that are already crimsoned be repainted in the new WM bus livery or will they stay crimsoned and you will only paint buses in the WM bus livery closer to 2022?

As I said to Mr Jones There's no way it will happen. It's a physical impossibility

Ok. What about the ones that are still in the toothpaste livery like the Wright deckers and the E200s?

There's been no buses in toothpaste liver for several years

I meant the red and white ones.

[Westy]

Would've thought the same criteria they applied to which vehicles became  crimson would apply here?

Ie vehicles below certain fleet numbers would stay red white or crimson & the  rest would have the Wm Bus livery !

Just thought of something. What if some of the current 6 platinums went on the X70? It's supposed to be a Platinum route yet uses E400s and Tridents. It doesn't even use the new batch of Platinums at BC.

It's common on a weekend to see the full allocation with Platinums, but weekdays a few may turn every couple of days. Still strikes me they've given the 126 announcements on the Platinums but they can't be bothered to do the X70...

I'm sure I saw someone say on here that the ☓70 was never branded because there's not that much of a PVR for it so it wouldn't be worth it. Yet the WN 54 is? Doesn't make sense.

X70 is part of the ex lea hall contingency so they Are never going to bother with branding or consistent Platinum allocation, just a theory.

[Ashley 60171]

With the upcoming changes. I take it not all of 2012-2023 have their 3/4 branding modified this weekend and as such a few will be de-branded entirely? Have any been chosen to be fully de-branded?

Will some of the X8 buses and the New transfers from PN be rebranded to feature the 8?
