Wow, so Clayderman's MMC paper bus thing wasn't really off with the colour. Didn't the National Express website say that 17 of the buses will be branded?

I have listed 17 as branded!

I notice 6129's rear is not branded. @Tony - Silly question, but: Will they not brand the back then? It'll be a plus, in my opinion - I do like natural light in my buses. You can also see (or rather not see) any branding through the top rear window in 6128's picture, but here's 6129: (the bus parked in front of 6125)

I have quadruple checked it and on your website it was 19. They said 9 which was ticket branded and I counted 7 as ticket branded.

Ronnoc1k9 is right - 19 according to the fleetlist to have route 50 branding. Nice photos of them though - looking forward to seeing them out in service.

6129 may have been awaiting branding at the time of the photo.

Possibly. But if so, then I guess so was 6128. On another subject, likewise with the 9 advertising "places of interest", if you will, like Barclaycard Arena, Sea Life Centre, Halesowen Cornbow, etc... - Any ideas what, or rather, where the 50 could (be) advertise/ing? My thought would be that the Coach Station in Digbeth will be mentioned, surely...

Only 17 now.

None have come out to play today

Thanks for changing that Tony - hopefully some will come out tomorrow. They look great in the new livery.

Second that, as I am planning to go down to Wythall tomorrow, it would be nice to see some of these on the 50 on my way there and back!

Then again, there are two buses named 'Scarlett' - both will soon be together at WB. They are (YW) 4761 & (WB) 4980, btw...

If 4761 transfers over, am sure they will dename it!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

If so, seems almost a bit of a waste re-applying 'her' name after debranding from the 50. Well, for the short time it's left at YW, don't you think so?
