And we haven't even got round to what colour Sprint buses are going to be. Any ideas?

There hasn't actually been any confirmation that NX will be operating Sprint, however it seems the most likely scenario considering it was part of the Centro/NXWM Partnership commitments

Trident 4609

I can foresee 25 (876-900?) more E200s of some description for Walsall and Wolverhampton to replace the B10 and B6s, but would have thought they'd be in standard livery.

There's just the 15 x Euro 5 E200's to come in standard livery. I believe ADL will be switching production to the E200MMC soon, if any more single deckers are due, they will most likely be in the new livery. B6's at WN could just be replaced by cascading in Tridents & moving the existing E200's & single deckers around.

Seeing as they're having 3 E200s imminently at Wolverhampton I would have though the remaining 11 will be directly replaced at some point.

But the 3 extra E200's are for new I54 services i.e. existing 54 being extended & new route 154, thus increasing Pvr at WN. Can't see them replacing many or even any B6

I'm told more arrivals (Cascades) are due at WN soon. The Spectra's are supposedly leaving April so I expect some Trident cascades

I don't see how the Spectra's will be leaving in April.

It's E400MMC in to PN, 09 E400's out to PB replacing remaining Scania Artics & B7TL/ALX400's or Gemini out?
E400MMC in to YW cascading E400's to WB with either Presidents, B7TL/ALX400 or Gemini being released?

There's nothing currently arriving to free up Tridents for cascade only Volvo DD's.

Maybe more Geminis into Walsall, then Tridents to Wolverhampton?

My understanding is that, like the Metro trams, Centro will buy and own the Sprint buses, so the decision on the livery will be up to them.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
