957 Branding

[trident4370]

I would say its a pretty safe bet, whenever branding's are done there are usually spares left blank, also don't forget the spare enviros at BC are supposed to be used on the 24 so can't see them branding the lot just for that reason alone.

Love love love the green stripe! Return to TWM livery ish, wonder if any of our remarks to the NX OD have been taken on board!

Another variation on route-branding? Interesting addition of a co-ordinating coloured line behind the red area of the livery. And a name too! "Victoria". Will this be rolled out on other route-branded vehicles? Is it another test? Interesting.

Posted this earlier but it mysteriously vanished.

Interesting picture of 4909 there with the extra band of green pertaining to the route branding. What do people think of it? And also a named bus! Kind of reminds me of 4177.

3 buses i have seen so far, 4909,4910,4912 I think. I think 4910 is named 'Alanna'. On the rear downstairs window it looks similar to the 934/5/6 branding - FAST Sheldon - Yardley - City or something like that with '957' in the upstairs window.

Also to note, they seem to be changing the destinations again, to the same as AG.

Presumably the font of the text on the hanover display or the via points have been changed eg like the 126

The destination i.e 'Birmingham' is bigger with the via point 'via Sheldon' smaller. The same as what AG have done and BC have done in the past.

Certain garages notably AG and BC seem to regually change the typeface of the destinations

For clarity and visibility?

Having the destination displayed in a larger font makes it clearer where the bus goes. Though people will still fail to pay attention!

Noticed recently that AG have changed the 'short working' displays too, so for example instead of just 'Acocks Green 37E' , it now reads 'Acocks Green Village 37E' with 'Shirley Road Island' on the lower line.
