Harborne Corridor has now got red branding. No route numbers yet, just "Birmingham | Edgebaston | Harborne - Via Broad Street"

- 22, 23, 24, 29 [possibly] can all benefit from this branding then...

Do we think any B7RLE's will get identical branding on the 29?

Doubt it, red + red wouldn't mix well on the colour wheel.

I didn't think about that!  8)

Fingers crossed the B7RLE's don't get any branding whatsoever. Not a big fan of branding plus I like those buses looking standard. The E200's at BC look rough with the branding compared to the two that don't have it.

Just saw it on 5510, it's along the lines of the 934 etc or Sutton Lines branding with a red stripe behind the green front in line with recent branding efforts. Front branding is similar to that applied to B7RLEs. Frequency is every 4 minutes. Looks quite smart

@Mike K - Looks smart, but the rear branding sorta lets it down... It coudldn't have been the whole engine door, but just UNDERNEATH the Wrightbus insignia... ::) Looks terrific though!

@clayderman, the rear looks a lot smarter than the native B5s without that awful vinyl covering it. My only issue is the colour. Navy blue would have been nice.

Is this the first time NX have 'recycled' branding?

@Mike K, Navy blue branding is for the E400 MMC for the Pershore Road next year. ;)

@Liverpool Street, is this you confirming the E400MMC are for services 45/47???

No not Recycling branding just using common sense, as Red on Red doesn't work but Red on Green does.
Navy Blue on Red works really well.

Yes I noticed that too, NX usually have a better level of attention to detail
