It wasn't in the best postion for a photo yesterday. Because of the light you cannot see them, but it also has a light grey strip below the top deck windows, and the windows on both decks have black window surrounds

Given that the current 'grey' livery is driven mainly by cost considerations can any enthusiast suggest a small adjustment to the livery at potentially minimal cost, if that's possible, that might address the view, that appears to be held by many, that it's the least inspiring public service vehicle livery to ever appear on the roads of Birmingham and adjoining local authorities? It's close to Christmas the weathers grey so let's have a bit of fun and see what you can come up with.

Anyone got £1 to chip into a x-mas fund to get a few stickers for the odd bus window 😂

Have different colour bands under the lower back front window. Examples include gold for Wolves,sky blue for Coventry,Dark blue for West Bromwich,cream for the Birmingham garages. I'll leave it to others for Pensnett and Walsall.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

Similar idea, except instead of the "zero emissions at tailpipe" graphic on the lower rear of the buses, a colour coded "proud to serve X" instead??
