You've lost me.... we all know that ALX400 bodywork is carried on Tridents as well as B7TL's
Though In my opinion it didn't look as though he knew that. By saying this when replying "Well the ALX400 aren't going Crimson.".

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.

He misunderstood and he's trying to baffle you to "protect his ego". I don't know why people don't hold their hands up to mistakes on here. We're all human lads.

Jesus Christ @2206 i specifically mention Double Deckers Above 4425 were getting crimsonised that the ALX400-B7tls the volvo ones! were not getting painted if i was on about the Tridents i would have put ALX400 Tridents! Hence why i put B7tl AFTER ALX 400,  If the ALX400 B7TLS and the 41**/42**/43** ALX400 Tridents got too scruffy they would of repainted it into red and white (like a president did not long ago) and may even get branded (like the 11A/C) Its there actually a route that these buses are the sole type?

@MW my bad there, i didn't specify lol i meant solely ALX 400 B7tls.

I think he's referring to the B7TL ALX400 as opposed to Tridents.

Having gone through the Route Allocations Spreadsheet, I can't see a route which solely has the type, it seems to supplemented with another vehicle type

Does anyone really think new route branding would be applied to an old livery with buses with a mix including some well worn interiors?

The idea of route branding is to gain passengers

Ooooh another new livery for 28/05/2016   :P

An example of this is the Coventry 4's which had never been refurbished. At least you can tell that it is a 4 with the massive pink sticker and they don't get thrown onto the 21 now as much... I personally don't think it has attracted any new customers though. Some arrive from Arena Tesco with around 10 on it...

No, the new livery might appear before that date though

I'm guessing Queen's birthday special livery. Now if the colour of the stamps are the 'official' birthday colour, then a two tone version of that in the new style could be quite eye catching!

The Queens birthday. I'll never understand why people look up to the Queen and dedicate days to her. She's a human just like everyone else.
