the circles have always looked better, x1/x2, x3/4/5/14, x61, 126, x7/8 and more! They look good on the platinum colours. Shame tfwm have to ruin it

The new branding was done by NX. TfWM did not have a say

Apart from kids on here who said the 126 is going to be rebranded
Again kids on here said new platinums for 126 in March

I would imagine other vehicles will have different suburbs named in the side branding
6125 says Bearwood
6126 says harbourne

Here's a quick screenshot of what it looks like

I like it, it definitely catches the eye, got to be honest though, I feel like they could have utilised the space better rather than just writing 'Outer Circle' in a big font.

I think the last TWM 11 branding set the bar too high

Something like this on a couple of the Enviros would be good. Not sure how practical it is though, what with smashed windows and stuff.

6126 and 6125 have different names on the side instead of bearwood, I think the aim is to have a one major destination of outer circle on the side branding rest of them on the rear

Some people really are missing the point... The Outer Circle is famous in Brum, most people know about it, it's in popular culture, memes with "does the 11 go there?", I've got a bloody t-shirt of the route.
It doesn't need all the individual places advertised on every bus, christ the list would cover the entire vehicle

I hear NXWM are giving up on the 58 in March.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Interesting, though I always thought the 31 had a greater chance of going. If the 58 was to go could we see the S16 being altered/curtailed or an independent taking on the 58?

If they are then they will probably need to put an extra bus on the X2 to cope with extra passengers by duplicating the 07:54 X2 departure from the Swan to Solihull, the 58 which leaves the Swan at that time has a full standing load once it gets to Clay Lane usually, with all those passengers going towards Solihull. If all these passengers try and get on the 07:54 X2 from the Swan its simply not going to cope with any extra passengers, as both this departure and the one a few minutes behind it at 07:59 are both already full to capacity as well with standing passengers.

The 31 is part of the Solihull tenders commencing 24th February, so it's already gone.

The 31 is going. It's apparantly been lost on tender to Silverline.
