Apparently route branded 4773 is out on 12X 53 minutes past hour from town.
4423 has also gained a full rear advert

Typical, I was a looking out for a branded blue bus yesterday in the Earlsdon area. Kept seeing 4763/4/7 which I presume are still unbranded.

It's not very inspiring and has the "sad mouth look"

The new version of NXC's livery hasn't come out as well as I thought it would, it's no where near as bold as NXWM's Crimson or Explore Dundee's Green version. The blue/white NXC fleetname is lost in daylight, it should have been the two shades of gold as per Crimson

Think I agree with that - overall the blue version is nothing like as 'classy' as the red/crimson and green versions. It looks rather dull and uninspiring. If anything it looks too light (both shades of blue) something darker a bit like the XD livery would have been a better bet. I've managed to grab a few pictures of 4773 earlier today [Wed] and a few others - I've put them on my own Flickr page [<- thinks there's a link to that on the left] but my photography skills aren't up to much!

What about black and yellow colours to represent Wasps the new sporting team in the city. After all it is the year of the Rugby World Cup in this country.

871 is sole remaining E200 with a "rugby ball" another new bus for you on the side, although attempts appeared to have been made to remove it!

In fairness the new branding suits the new livery. Wonder if they will brand PB 16 and PB 52 once their batch has finished the repaint?

JoNi · October 02, 2015, 03:58:01 PM

I'd agree they are both **** (insert word of your own choosing)
