4614 (14) > 70

The 14 has route branding?

Yes it has @Matt :) I'll be going back out shortly to try and get a pic of it. If 4614 is still out it should be currently working the 12:53 Birmingham to Solihull and the 14:49 Solihull to Birmingham.

@Liverpool St wont like this, his favoriet ex Pershore Rd buses being branded for a different route!
I'm guessing we'll see less 46s on the Bristol Rd / Pershore Rd routes now....

I reckon the 14s must be making some money, the buses are mostly pretty full, seems ironic back in the mid 90s LH operated single decker Lynxs, but I suppose back then the 55 went the same way as far as Stechford and also the 26 served Alum Rock Rd too.

Stuharris 6360

Whatever happened to route branding for the 9, just before Simon Mathieson left he said the 9 was the next route to be done.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

979

Branded 222 (830) on 243 service

Explains why it was mentioned (Think in the PE garage thread) as running private through Old Hill earlier

See here

"830 was parked at PE about 10:30, but was spotted being driven through Old Hill at around 11:15 NIS."

826 53 (222 branded) blackheath at 1825 (west brom bound)

It looks like blue is the new green. How many routes is that now in the same or similar shade of blue?

The current branding looks ok on a lot of vehicle types but in my opinion looks dreadful on the ALX400
