Has All of the pershore road branded buses been debranded?

Will 6945-50 receive any branding?

Next stop announcements on 6882 don't appear to be working.

6883 appears to be the same.

No. I think Tony has said as much before, considering they are fitted with tachographs along with 6941-44.

Yes but surely they can still get the generic branding? The others have.

Tony said ATG are finishing next week, so could it be that BC will get the Birmingham City Council bus contracts that ATG currently use the E200/Solo on?

Are these officially Alexander Dennis Enviro 200MMC (possibly 8m length with B30F seating arrangement, going by the discussions on Facebook groups). Do ADL still refer to them as E20D?

I've seen 4908 & 4909 debranded from the Pershore Road.. As far as I'm aware, those that carry the full body advertisements continue to carry the branding; if only visible at the front..

All have been debranded now with just a few carrying adverts retaining orange fronts. I wouldn't call that branding though really, and those appear to be mixed in on other E400 routes now

4907, one of the advert ones already at Walsall for a crimson makeover
