This livery and branding is a work of art. Simply fantastic.

Re my earlier post I know it's a 7 minute service what I was
asking was how often will they have a hybrid out on the 1
as they only have 9 at present

As there will be up to 9 B5s on the 1 and the remainder being Tridents/Spectras for the next few weeks, they might be in any order, e.g. you might get 3 B5s in a row then 3 Tridents, so you can't really predict how frequent the hybrids will be

The branding's very nice, and the back looks very classy indeed.

Does anyone have any info on when the E400Hs are due to arrive - I seem to remember late March being mentioned previously?

Here's a pic of the back.

I like the wording on the bonnet

The back of these looks much smarter when not needlessly covered with white and green vinyl like the BC ones. Smart looking buses.

Is there any reason why all buses  wont be branded.

Possible flexibility but they are all meant for the 1 service as thats what the funding was for.

Nothing to stop some venturing out on other routes on Sundays when they are not all needed.
There will be two spare Monday to Fridays as well

As long as the branded ones do not go on but you know my views on that.

I saw 5511-5517 in service on the 1 this morning.  5510 and 5518 could have been in service but I did not see them personally during the time I was in Wolverhampton.  5515 to 5517 have route branding, 5511 to 5514 do not.
