It's the same for the 822, always showing "King Edwards"

6858 has lost its Harborne branding and is now got the generic Platinum branding.

And 6859

Why? The Harborne routes aren't as nearly as long as the X1.

What's the length of the route got to do with two buses being debranded?

With the reduction in Frequency too many buses were branded forcing them to be on other routes

I did wonder whether this would happen.

Will the '4 mins' be changed on those that remain branded also?

I thought they were going to start debranding all of them for a similar reason to why they debranded the X1/2 (apart from the interworking, since they are branded for both routes)

Actually, does that mean 6858 and 6859 will now get internal generic platinum branding as well?
