Also noticed how route number 63 is not on the offside but on the nearside branding

Good picture that. Looks smart, though I notice it doesn't mention Frankley. An indicator of what's to come, perhaps?

Also, does it still mention the university hop? Or is that no longer running?

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I don't like it at all, the blue and the yellow doesn't look good on the Crimson for me. The font, especially on the sides is very overpowering

I quite like that they are branding the ones that never had branding before, 5501-5509 and that the 13 plates are also being branded, will they be branded? There still isn't enough Hybrids for the 63 though.

I think (just by looking a the 63 timetable) that the PVR for the main off-peak Monday to Saturday daytime is 16 buses so there are enough hybrids. Monday to Friday peak periods uses more but that doesn't really matter as most platinum routes uses standard buses in peaks.

E400's and Tridents are still daily on the 63, someone told me there isn't enough Hybrids for the 63...

There are enough, when they, are all available

This is one of the main gripes about the allocation. Only having just enough,  so if one is involved in an accident and needs work doing then you get a standard bus. Surely especially for platinums you should have surplus to requirements in case this happens? I know obviously the platinums aren't cheap but just my thoughts. Look at the x10 for example- daily allocated a street deck yet platinum??

Not seen any 13 plates branded yet but I am sure they will gain branding in due course. Can confirm 5502 is not branded yet

5512 is 63 branded, if you look at my previous post, nine posts above.
