New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[Stu]

I hope the 11 gets branded, it may just be the thing needed to tidy up those Presidents

I think Tony did say a while back that the 11 would receive branding, but I guess that has been put on hold, probably until more Geminis come to AG. Geminis would be more likely to be branded, rather than Presidents.

Don't see why the 94 never will. Used it the other day lol.

Used to be branded when LH was open with 44** Tridents

When the 54 plate Gemini's first came on the 11A/C they were route branded for the 11/outer circle & looked really good. It will do the 11 good to be rebranded albeit of a different style to the earlier branding.

@ Tony Are the 6701 to 6718 the numbers for the new Platinum Branded Buses and have they finalized what the livery is going look like?

Well aware of that fella, just having my usual dig. I will concede that the only investment likely in that corridor is the 72 and the 94 can go &*&^ ha ha. Back to work to tomorrow, so no time for additional insightful threads moving forward.

Watch out for new buses around tomorrow!
It is possible
2201; 2202 will be delivered to AG
6147 wil be delivered to YW
6703; 6704 will be delivered to BC
6144 (named after my daughter); 6145; 6146 will be in service on the 50 for the first time!

It was also confirmed today that there will be an Enviro 400 named 'Ronnie Morgan' in a couple of month's time, and it WILL happen this time

Really busy day then tomorrow - should be good! Will keep an eye out for the new deliveries tomorrow - hopefully one of the new MMCs will show up on the 76E tomorrow  :) Been Enviro 400 (the ex50 ones) allocated all year - never has Tridents so think it goes onto the 50 later in the day. Expect it will get an MMC as a result.

I really did expect a Trident instead of an Enviro because those were the buses mainly for the 45. It should be an old 45 branded bus instead of an Enviro.

@Tony How long until we can see the branding for the 900?

There aren't any 45 branded buses, or do you mean one from the 4610-34 batch?
With E400's expected to be introduced on the Pershore Road soon, I think it's a nice tribute.

I meant the 4610-4634 batch, some ALX400's deserved to be named, especially to a special person.

[GeminiFan1991]

Was anyone else a fan pf the large circular branding for the 11 on the Geminis ?! I just seen a photo recently and I have to admit it was great, it suited the outer circle well although I doubt it would work just as well on a Plaxton.
