Acocks Green - First depot with the proper livery.

[MW]

Acocks Green are now on track to become the first depot with a full National Express West Midlands livery fleet I believe. After these 25 B10Ls are gone (of which only a handful are in TWM livery), there'll only be 5 Presidents in 'The One' branding, or plain New Travel West Midlands livery (stripes), unless of course there's another depot. I can't think of any others at the minute.

With NX pulling out a new livery, this would probably change.

Notably also, since BC received their B6LEs for the 636 route, AG will also become the only garage in the whole operation with a fleet of buses that all have LED destination displays.

And yet still some of the drivers can't be bothered to press the button to show the correct destination on the display!  ::)

No they aren't.  4518-22 and 4529/30 are all still here :) Dot Matrix displays on them.

OK, so I meant LED/dot matrix displays then!  :P As opposed to roller blinds!

If the remaining 45xx move to West Bromwich then it will be LED

If AG does become the first depot in all new NX livery it will be interesting to see the connector bar mix. The original repaints had the large bars at the rear of the vehicle, then there was a period when repaints had no bars at all and now repaints have the short bars after the fleet name. It will be some time until there is one consistent livery - if ever!!
