Do we need any more route branding at all is a better question, sometimes it makes buses look more hideous than they are and too much branding can be confusing to the travelling public if branded vehicles go on other routes

311 / 313 should be branded. B10's & B7RLE's branded for this in the past.

WN59 should be branded

It wouldn't work anymore like it used to due to the several bus types that operate on the route. I

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.

Every 10 mins between Birmingham and Oldbury, a very useful route for many people, links many areas to one another, I don't see why not. It could do with deckers at times, but unlikely that it will receive them
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

I hope they wait until the Pershore Road and Bristol Road get new buses to brand them because otherwise they'll just look as tatty as the 97 does at the minute with unrefurbished Tridents with stickers plastered all over them. I think if a route is going to be branded they should wait until there are refurbished buses to brand.

The tridents on the 97 are refurbished bar 4465 and 4470

I meant as per the latest spec with the grey moquette and no connection bars.

97s still look tatty a representation of "most" 70% of the East Brum routes.

I'd quite like to see 4718-4727 35 branded, sadly I doubt it will happen!

Stuharris 6360

Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).
