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.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

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.

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.

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.
