That's interesting, I thought I saw 825 in Halesowen this morning for a moment, but it was actually a BC E200 on the 99 with the branding missing off the front panel like 825.

I normally see the 8:15 244 from Halesowen which is the same board as the 2:15, but didn't see it this morning.

Two 900 branded buses on the 24 today, one was 4909, and i couldn't read the other one...

That's 805 Matt, noticed it today also. The side bumpers seem to be a tiny bit bigger than the middle part of the bumper with the front numberplate on, they don't seem to sit flush with the other panels

I do hope that like 4047, they replace the branding on both 805 and 825

4909 is branded for the 957 ;) What time did you see 4909 on the 24 as it was on 957 early this morning :)

In a way, I hope they don't, gives a way of telling them apart from a distance. It would be a lot more boring if every bus looked the same ;)

For example, I can tell a lot of my Enviros apart, with little differences:

4800 - old shade but no big connection bars, mini bars
4802 - no front logo
4805 - destination in rear display
4806 - mini connection bars
4809 - blue Imperial Commercials megarear
4810 - no front logo, logo on lower rear window, weak LED display
4811 - HR branding still visible on rear
4812 - HR branding still visible on sides
4817 - Edward Littlehales, mini connection bars
4818 - dented panel under driver's window
4819 - weak LED display
4824 - panel below driver's side headlights different shade of red
4826 - mini connection bars
4827 - no offside logo
4828 - lower connection bars missing on offside, no offside logo
4829 - yellow Eminem megarear

It was 805 I seen on the 45 last week then seen while I was on 4725 heading into Brum on the 35

Dulcie (900) on the 24

I find these names confusing. 4898 was also on the 24 today, unless that's the same bus.

The amount of 900 branded buses on the 24 is plain daft.

Yes I like to keep track of the PE Enviro's, there's just something special about that batch of vehicles, not sure why, probably because most PE drivers like to make swift progress, hasn't 4807 got a bright purple replacement wheelchair ramp? Seem to recall that one standing out
