New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[Stevo]

As I posted in the E400 thread I went on 6102 today. I think the livery looks better in the flesh than in photos - the distinction between the reds is more noticeable. I agree about obscuring the rear windows, though. How about contravision? It's awful on side windows but acceptable on the back.

Question for anyone who has seen the new livery. Is the red used for the mid section of the new livery the same red used for the 'old' red/white livery or is it a different shade. It's hard to tell from the online photos.

Someone, somewhere will hate me for saying this, but "Barclaycard" is spelt wrong...

LOL!  Only people who'll hate you for saying that are those who don't believe there's any importance attached to accuracy.

Different shade, but then the whole bus looks different when you see it with your own eyes

Indeed it does. Highly impressive in the flesh, reds are quite dark and the overall livery looks luxurious and almost coach like. Look forward to seeing the unbranded examples.

Oh dear. That really is quite embarrassing.

26 for YW? What's the PVR for the 50 then, didn't think it was that many?

[trident4370]

4738-4762 is 25 so only one extra, and that is assuming neither 4698 or 4799 leave with the main batch which I'm hoping they wont!

Would think that 4799 will stay at YW, if its moved to WB it could theoretically be used on the Hagley Road and i would think NE would want to avoid that!

Info that's not needed but I'd thought I'd just say it, 4799 is on the 35 today.

If there are 26 MMCs due and 25 existing Enviro400s, either 4698, 4799 or one of the unbranded ex-Perry Barr vehicles will leave too, unless Yardley Wood want an extra bus. I do agree with what Stu has said about 4799 though

[Liberator9]

Well looking at the timetable - I think the PVR may be around 22/23. That only leaves 3 spare in the peaks. They may drift onto the 2/3/18/76 or 49 during the day, or the 6. Perhaps YW do just want that extra flexibility. Although I could see why they may transfer another E400 out as gives WB the chance to offload whatever they are getting rid of

[Stuharris 6360]

Why not transfer 4732?

I Hope 6123-6148 as they are going to Yardley wood will be in the two tone silver/grey livery and branded for the route 50
