You will probably find that the new Enviro400s will appear on 900/957 as well (with 13 plates on the 24 as well), unless they gain branding for the 24 soon

And even if they did brand 4940-9 then it wouldn't stop them occasionally appearing on other routes.

In my opinion, if the 24 would be branded, it'll look quite strange, and sort of rule out the exWN hybrid branding as if it were strictly for services 22 & 23. In theory, the branding most likely to be applied could may well be another Harborne branding for the E400s. If not, then shoot me dead...

Not sure they'd bother branding these as it would mean they'd see no use in the evenings or on Sundays when the 24 is B7RLE operated due to inter working with the 29/A. 22/23 is usually 100% B5 operated evenings and Sundays.
