Out of interest how come there are no x12/x13 branding. Is it down to not enough busses to brand. Bcus you'll see a x21/x22 23/24 and price branding all on the x12/x13 route

6703 to 6710 used to carry X12 branding when AG ran it.

With the fleet set to be in a state of flux over the next few years, I doubt we'll see any further brandings applied for a while, in fact you're more likely to see more vehicles having theirs removed.
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

I mean 6945-50 were purchased for the X13 (back when it was the X70).

Like Stu said there's going to be a lot of fleet movements over the next few months, so it's probably not worth doing any branding. We've already seen some of BC's other buses be debranded (Hybrids on 61/3 and a few of the Harborne branded buses - although this was because of PVR changes).
23 - Bartley Green
76 - Northfield
X20 - Birmingham Via Longbridge, Northfield & QE Hospital / University

They weren't purchased for any route. The only reason that odd batch ended up at BC was to spread tachograph buses around more garages (6942-6951)
