They won't arrive till early next month as they have been assigned 15 regs.

That doesn't mean they won't arrive in February, just they will enter service in March

A hint of something imminent perhaps?

@Tony Is the 9 to receive branding?

[RW]

Please no branding. At least let them hit the road in pristine livery before anyone is let loose on them with yards of vinyl. Sadly!

At last!!!........someone else who recognises the aesthetic damage caused by this legalised vandalism.
Where have you been these last couple of years while I have been almost a lone voice in stridently criticising this mutilation.
Alas,We still appear to be very much in the minority.......these PR wonks have convinced themselves of the huge illusory benefits of this "branding".
I imagine that people who scribble on buses with felt tip pens are still prosecuted if caught,although,other than being the legal owner of the vehicle,I cannot see much difference.

It brightens up otherwise drab liveries

I noticed some E400's with blue branding but it wasn't advertising any routes, just fares etc. So if they're all going to be in either route branding or fare branding, is it safe to assume the standard livery will have some sort of blue involved. (Standard being the drab red and white)

[karl724223]

No

I like the branding of routes makes the plain red/white livery a bit more eye catching

- Posted in NXDundee Thread. I picked up on the branding. If it's a confirmed branding design, it looks nicer, and better than the current one, imo... Suits the MMCs well, mostly. I don't think the branding 'ring' around the destination display is necessary... :-\

Perhaps the 9 branding will be red??  ::) ::) ::)

@Stuharris 6360 Probably not, as the main colour is red, so i doubt branding would be red as well

For some reason im thinking the branding will be gold

But will it be used on the rest of the Dundee fleet? Presidents in British Racing Green - that I'd like to see!

It's not even confirmed that it will become the new NXD livery yet, it is a proposal only at present
