Birmingham Central Garage

Hopefully that advert increases into multiple garages, I admire that emirates advert

It's part of their new national summer campaign so I'd be surprised if this is the only one at NX. I know there's at least 6 due in London as it's bolted onto the national sales house brief.

Yeah, I've read about it on more posts. Seems like it's going to go on more vehicles at Acocks Green and Walsall. Nice to see something other than grey

Depends on what the advertiser requests

Can an advertiser request a specific vehicle type or vehicle to which the advert is applied? I genuinely don't know the answer to this. 

I'd be surprised if HSBC had any say in the buses its Premier Account branding was applied to. They look anything but premier.

Not sure if this applies to NX but I believe they wouldn't request so much a specific vehicle but they can request a certain area which they might want their advert displayed which I suppose for smaller operators or operators with route branding or buses that stick to certain routes would dictate what buses get the adverts.

The generally don't specify type. Some electric companys specify electric buses, hence E025-E034 getting adverts last year.

Generally the company specify where they want their advert seen, so I have to find appropriate buses at appropriate garage.

If I remember correctly the Emirates are going on 5 x 61xx at AG, 3 x 48xx at Walsall, 6 x 49xx at BC and 3 68xx at BC

Surprising to see 6886 being advert wrapped

Its actually only been applied to one side of the bus which is a bus odd, just seen it go past

Not odd at all, how long do you think it takes to apply these?

Oh wow, didn't realize

I don't know if any of the other ex-branded BC MMC have it, but 6870 now has advert frames fitted. Makes sense but the "charge into City" should've probably been removed first as you can now only see part of it under the frame.

6888 (I think) also now has advert frames (with part of the "extra legroom and comfy seats" still visible), so presumably all of them will get this treatment

Except the 3 getting the Emirates advert

Does anyone know why BC9701 trip was sliced up to the last jounrey being 97A 19:38 to Birmingham, before it became a part of 04 trip?

The 94/95 has a similar example the 19:40 ex City forms the 22:00 out on 95/15. While the 21:18 ex Chelmsley 95/28 runs back to the garage on arrival in the City.

One reason might be so the driver's start/finish at the garage rather than on the road at a guess.
