@clayderman saw that one earlier, don't remember it having it

4905 on the 24 this morning. Turns out it's that bus with the new side branding...

Also, 4368 is also on the 24 - seen around 16:02 turning the corner from Colmore Row.

4368 also has one of these adverts above the door. It's on the 24 again today.

Sorry... Your wording has baffled me! Did you mean you saw the bus with the ad or see the bus unbranded? I'm not sure, 4818 is from memory...

You may be right actually, given the ads are only on the nearside

Another reason why NX's branding/livery is terrible! They need symmetry! I guess it's cost wise though, what with passengers boarding on that side...

Not sure why you need the same on the offside as nearside? It's not as if you can ever see both at the same time!

Just for advertising purposes mainly...

The two unbranded 200s just passed each other in smelly oak, 809 on the 98 & 808 on the x64 (very busy!)

Two unbranded Enviros on 900 this afternoon with nearside adverts above the doors are -

4904 - buses every few minutes across the West Midlands
with a clock showing 7 minutes to 12.

Depends which stop you're standing at half hourly at the Coventry end of the 900!

4905 - your ticket to..
(words in a swirl flowing out of an Enviro)
work shopping days out pub hospital
nights out school college gym park

The latter is hardly targeted marketing in a world where tickets are being overtaken by Smartcards!!!

900 branded and unbranded e400s are usual on 900
ive seen a few e400s/tridents with adverts on the door bit

[Trident 4609]

@nxwmbusfan1999, i don't think JoNi meant that unbranded E400's were unusual on the 900. The point he was making was about the nearside adverts that have been applied to these vehicles :)
