I was expecting the branding changes to be made ready for the 31st, that didn't happen of course

I take their are variations to the 11 branding ?! I.e some buses her certain locations on them

Hi All

The more and more buses I see in the new livery, the more I find myself wondering if the overall livery is good. Compared to the other variants of the new livery (Coventry, Dundee & Platinum) the 2 tone colours are more visible and evident whereas on the crimson buses at times it's not as easy to discern.

Another gripe I find myself having is the branding on this livery. I find all the buses being branded just look generic , just the route number on the side with destinations and a halo on the front with probably something on the back. The single decks fair even worse with just a strip on the top of the windows. The red/white livery was better in terms of branding as it stuck better and branding became more incorporated into the design of the bus.

Another thing is the amount of routes also receiving branding as well. Before it was a handful but now with more buses becoming crimsoned they're also becoming branded for routes and tickets. I'm starting to think it's slightly excessive.

Anyone have similar or opposing views ? (This isn't some type of rant by the way !)

@GeminiFan1991 - there is already another thread in exististance with 35 pages & you were the last to post in that one, can people please check before duplicating threads, Winston

I have to agree with that, it'll be a matter of time before they put some branding on the ALX400's.

I wouldn't be surprised ! It just seems as though every bus going through paint is getting some type of branding.

Well the ALX400 b7tls aren't going crimson (read somewhere all single decks and double deckers 4425 above will get crimsonised) maybe a red and white repaint

But the ALX400 Tridents are, the 97 ones have already started to be done.

Nothing below 4425 is going to receive Crimson or be re-trimmed in latest moquette

I know that I read it on here somewhere. The 03/53/04/54 plate Tridents will be done though, I never said they'll all be done.

You switched the topic of conversation from Chris saying ALX400/B7TL aren't going to done in Crimson to 'But the ALX400 Tridents are'. What's your point? It's kinda pointing out the obvious, as we already know the 97 batch of Tridents are going through the paintshop, they have been for months.

To me it looked like he was replying to the two comments above his. Which say he wouldn't be surprised if the ALX400 get branded and he then says " it just seems like every bus going through repaint is getting some type of branding"
Then Chris says " Well the ALX400 B7TL aren't going Crimson." But the Tridents also have ALX400 bodywork, some of which will go Crimson which is why I posted that

You've lost me.... we all know that ALX400 bodywork is carried on Tridents as well as B7TL's, we already know late model ALX400 Tridents will receive Crimson (they are already going through paint) & inevitably some/somewhere will be branded.
