Probably not the intention with this topic, but it will be interesting to see if this does actually happen with Diamond due to start on the 302 next month.

I think that the 9 should be branded as well, and it would be good if the 61/63 could be branded for the Bristol Road again too.

The 9 was due for branding, Simon Mathieson said so on here before he left, maybe they are awaiting new buses for it?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Surprised the 6 (Solihull) is not branded actually - 126 should certainly be branded.

They did actually have plans to brand the 9 & 141, with blue Hagley Road branding, but for some reason, the plan fell through

126 purple branding on Metrobuses

9 purple Hagley Road for 9, 109, 139 on B10s and B7s, green Hagley Road branding on Enviro 400s

Do tell me, why does the 301 need to be branded?

Seeing as 13plate E400s slip onto the 24 more than the newer ones (recently) - I think they should brand a couple... Would look interesting, would it match the Hybrid Branding with an opposing Green? Doubt they ever will though, and if so, it'll be for the Whole Harborne corridor.

Actually. Scratch that. New Coventry Road Branding.

'city centre | Digbeth | Small Heath | Coventry Road' - I mean, if you think about it, the 900 & 957 are Coventry Road buses too, past Heybarnes Circus... :P

The 120?
I'm not sure about that. It's not a bad idea but would it be needed because to be fair I think the 120 needs e400's in peak times and Saturdays because it actually gets quite busy some what suprising.
