Personally I think the 94 would be a higher priority for Enviros than the 97, especially when Claribels have 62 Reg buses competing.


Apparantely PB management are looking to improve the 94 in 2nd half of the year.

I can confirm it was 4447 in new 97 branding.

This was one of the last buses to be debranded from Bristol Rd, in fact I reckon it was debranded and rebranded at the same time!

At a guess it may be 4447-9 (4446 still in TWM livery) and 4455-74 (previously branded), as all of them are in the new livery.

I personally feel the branding is nice, but may have to change - I'm not sure it makes it clear that the every 4 mins applies only to the section between Birmingham & Chelmsley Wood, and could be seen as misleading?

Remember the previous situation with the green 79 branding where this had to be changed after application.

It does say up to every 30 minutes on the side windows and the rear, but I can see where you are coming from.

A newsletter pinned up in the garage says that 23 buses will be branded, and will also have "state of the art CCTV"
