Route Branded Buses off Route

[nitromatt1]

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.

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

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

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

That's 4809 with the purple ramp. I agree with you there, most of them sound different from each other in little ways, with various whistles/whines in some

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

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

Oops... I'm sure there were definitely 2 900 branded E400s, I saw one in town (8.45), then later saw another on the opposite of Harborne High Street (The Junction), Doubt it was the same bus... I was 4**9 though!

4914 (902/4/5 branded) - was on the 907

WA 51 branded - on the 934 16:1? Arrival at Perry Barr, would this have been an al day board, 51 branded usually run evenings if anything ?
