At a guess, I would think there is something being planned or in the pipeline, however with a large number of vehicles going through the cascade process at present (which I estimate will continue for the next few months), as well as a number of vehicles either going through or scheduled for repaint, it is probably prudent to wait a bit longer before doing anything with branding.
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

21:45 94 never ran tonight.

There also seems to be a very strange asian middle aged man who goes round the Priory Queensway/Moor Street stops in the evenings trying to sell old daysavers for £2 or sometimes £3 on a routine basis. Despite that as far as I know these tickets are not transferrable.

He's been doing it for quite some time. I've seen him doing it by Hockley Circus before too.

You'd occasionally get someone alighting, saying 'Anyone want a Daysaver?'

I've never taken them up on the offer mind.

Not transferable utter nonsense my kids share a Daysaver among'st  themselves they travel at different times, why waste precious money, i have seen passengers countless times hand over there Daysavers to others, my view on it is that its a kind gesture and it makes somebody's day or week.  Many times folks hand me the daysaver when they are finished with it i just clip it to the running board up to traffic office to do what ever.
