That looks magnificent. I think the lighter shade of green works well for the 900

Looks great, in my opinion the stripe of colour needs to be retrospectively applied to all the other recent Enviro brandings!

I think the style of the branding is good, but the colour is not nice at all, too similar to the hideous 33 branding. Interestingly it is the same (or similar) colour to that used on the NWM Coventry network map for the 900 route.

Blue would've looked nice... I guess it'll match the 97A when they're at the NEC & Airport. - But the light green also looks nice, for the 900/957 look. Would've been better if 900 & 957 had both numbers on one branding sticker.

Won't be blue. Blue is for the Pershore road in February.

Are the Pershore Rd being upgraded to new E400's then? Or will the branding be applied to tridents?

Facelifted E400's my friend.

Not like on the 900 but better I suppose.

I know it is two early to say but if the 45/7 do get an upgrade will that mean further cascade of tridents to another garage? Maybe WN to allow the Spectras to be withdrawn?

Most likely. But as you say its too early to say. I could say the E400 for Pershore is a certainty though.

And then just another 2 years afer 'upgrade-ion' the tridents will start to disappear from the streets of Brum! Let's start off proceedings by burning 4180.

Trident 4609

Completley forgot about the new facelifted E400's! Saying that new orders haven't even been placed yet let alone allocated to a garage or route.

LS, Do you know if the 45/7 will be a route upgraded to a Gold Corridor?

Nathan4775

Has anybody else noticed the little white aeroplane on the 900 branding ?
