All Unbranded NXWM Enviro 200's as they just don't look right, almost like they're unfinished

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

@wilmotm (Matt Wilmot), I think so too! The £8 ticket ad suits them well at BC...

The 120, it connects Dudley with so many different areas Llike Oakham. Oldbury. Langley. Londonderry bearwood and Hayley road. Could be useful and when new a good few mercs carried the purple branding. Alos while on the subject of purple the 27 could do with some sort of branding like Cadbury connect as it serves the factory in bournville  :)

My locals 12, 12A, 13, 22, 126, and the sixes every weekend :)

A Hagley Road branding would be brilliant. But branded Enviros they were to be used on the 140/141, they'd also have to appear on the 241. 120 deserves branding in my opinion. Maybe the 6/6A and 11/12 in Coventry using refurbished Tridents. Possibly the 126, but something makes me wonder whether they'd brand those Tridents again

I mentioned the 126 also further up in the thread :) But with brand new E400's

I'll be honest, I actually liked the Network Harborne branding, and the current Sutton lines.
Potential for similar with all the Dudley road routes? ie the 80/83/89 as well?
Or some groups of Walsall services, grouping the 34/38/39?
Lump the 997 in with the 934/5/6 branding?

@Kevin that sounds like a good idea, a dual branding on the 120 and the 127-9 would be good too, all 4 services provide 12 buses (every 5 minutes) to Birmingham an hour, from Bearwood

Thing is though, branding a group of routes the same would work well on routes run by the same garage, such as the dudley rd ones I mentioned... bearwood buses wouldn't work as well cause the 120 is pensnett and the 127/8/9 are west brom.
It's kinda why I didn't really suggest, for instance, Castle Brom routes, as the 70, 72 and 94 are all different garages

I think it could work. You could just brand 10 B7RLE for the 120 and 10 B7TL for the 127-9. The 74 and 79 shared the same branding while being operated by separate garages, it was that horrid green one

The outer circle did too when PB ran the 11C and AG ran the 11A.

Maybe replacing the 82/87 branding, with collective branding for the Dudley Road

Would like to see the outer circle branded again

Brand up some B7LRE's & stick the 301 Scanias on another route!
