Cheer up, I saw this understated headway branding on a Gemini last week.

You happy about the branding or the billboard ?

Makes an excellent wallpaper for the phone.
Bus is on route 1d  not the 10!
I'm don't mind Gemini's but posted it to cheer the heart of a fan!
I keep hearing rumours we losing ours in Coventry but there again a rumour went round they were going to branded for the 10 which just about gets back on thread!

Bored with endless talk of branding, how about some news or just speculation regarding this years 'new deliveries'. On the question of branding anyone else take the view that NXWM have just about reached a point where if any more branding is applied to their vehicles it certainly won't enhance their on road appearance.

I agree with you RW. I also think the branding is negated on double deckers by all the advertising, which just creates a confused image.

Must annoy marketing folk when the Finance Director puts the fares up once a year. They will need a bigger number for the rear adverts when the drivers wages are increased from £353.

That does not look good.

It appears to be like that on them all!
6709 is like that as well!

I don't like what appears to be a bit of a gap on the right hand side of the "Connecting Coventry" panel as it looks a bit un-neat to me.

Looks to me like someone just forgot to peel off the front of the transfer (assuming that is how they are applied)

[John]

The new transfer is fading, with sunlight and via the bus wash. Some that I have seen you can just about see the 5 underneath

Not sure if I missed this somewhere else, but I've just noticed that 3302-3305 have appeared on the main site as Wright Streetdecks (crimson) on order.

Are these intended for one garage or distribution around the network (or too early to say?)

[BK63 YWP]

Maybe for the X10?

So what happened to the exclusive deal with ADL?

So what happened to the exclusive deal with ADL?

Its been said hundreds of times, it wasn't an exclusive deal, it was just a deal that guaranteed 500 buses over 5 years from ADL.
