YX15OXU Having its photos taken today in town it was bring official photos taken so I took a few unofficial https://www.flickr.com/photos/dofartshavelumps/16937333214/in/dateposted-public/
6702 looks great and the livery does suit the E400MMC. Lets hope NXWM don't spoil it by putting gaudy route branding or advertising as personally I think it would spoil the look of the livery but that is my opinion. What the branding will look like we will no doubt find out in due course as they begin to gradually come into service on both the 900/957 as according to the main site 6701/6702 have only got their girls names. Can't wait to see them all in service on their respective routes.
The branding has already been applied - see Tony's pictures of it.
I think route branding, provided it's nicely done will look better than these non route branded examples. Although the feet and mobile phone is not to my taste, it's certainly striking.

I am referring more to the 900 or 957 branding if it is being applied to these or is Platinum going to be the actual branding for all routes including the Walsall routes once they are delivered
And white LED displays, too! Looks a bit special.

If you look on Tony's list, it shows that 6703-10 are to be branded for the 900 and 6711-5 to be branded for the 957
A question was asked on another thread about whether these Platinum buses will appear on other routes and I believe a moderator stated no so why aren't they all route branded then ?!

That just occurred to me as I posted it. Thanks and I suppose it does make it make it easier when it comes to the allocation duty every night
Will 6701 /6702 be out again on show before they enter service thanks

@John I am fully aware of the buses that are to be branded I am just wondering how the branding will look on the buses as the green wraparound branding on the ADL E400's would spoil the look of the livery. How Arriva have done the 110 branding would look good on them but maybe that's my own personal opinion I guess should look good however NXWM apply or have it applied
