Are there any plans to route brand any of the Volvos or will they just carry generic Hybrid 'green leaves' branding?

As far as I'm aware they are being branded for the 1. Brandings should be being applied any day now (they are still plain green/white at the minute)

Been on a birmingham hybrid today, a volvo one. Nice buses to travel on

A good idea but it seems the presidents have a lot more life yet espically as the 11 (if its the outer circle as there are so many other 11 routes) is a well known route not just in the West Midlands.

Can you imagine how many they'd need though to convert the 11 to hybrid buses. I bet they don't come cheap.  :P it's a nice idea though, a showcase route should get showcase buses.

There is currently a volvo hybird parked up at the bus parts place in Great Bridge it is one of BC's probably having some windows repaired or something similar.

Good chance of it having a window done.

They are not any more. I think that was the plan at first but Wolverhampton are getting some of both Hybrids
