Are 4044 and 4102 still in NXWM livery or now in Green Bus livery? Confusing if NXWM liveried buses are running around with another operator!!

How so?

Diamond had it's Ex First buses running around in the Barbie livery for a while, must have been very confusing in Worcester, Bromsgrove, Droitwich and Birmingham.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.

Just passed ex NXWM 4051 on the Birmingham Road near Broadway North doing a school service for Green Bus. Looks like it's another one they are keeping.

The ex-First buses, from all those I saw, had Diamond fleet names prominently displayed. Also a whole network of routes passed from First to Diamond which would have been well publicised locally and bus top information would have displayed this.

Ok forgive me but Green Bus don't do public services do they any more?
So there isn't an issue. I could understand confusion if they did compete on routes with NXWM but as they don't I can't see the issue. Granted a sticker like the ex Allibo London buses had would help but other than that as long as there aren't any fleet names from NXWM then it won't be to much of a problem.

The school services are available to the public.

Seen 4044 earlier on Warwick Road. Was baffled for a second as two 885's had just gone past. Then I saw the fleet number and thought, eh? I'm sure that's a WB Plaxton.
