23 Enviro 400s on the Pershore Road this morning.

Looking very modern!

That would explain the number of Tridents on the 24. Been quite a few Tridents on there for the last week or two.

Was it 6717's first day today in service - had it on the 957 and very nice bus!

I saw 6717 heading towards Solihull at the Swan Island was too far away really to get a picture as I was at the 11a bus stop opposite the Tesco's I saw another 957 branded MMC but couldn't see the fleet number

You did. This vehicle was on the 501 this evening. Apparently three have been branded so far.

Are their any pictures floating around ?!

Didn't get a pic as I was on the 98 going up Smallbrook Queensway.

Didn't have any rear branding as it still has the Twycross Zoo megarear. Saw 4913 too with a drivemybus advert over the rear windows
