New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

NX have taken some more, but on lease at Sipson Road garage, why would any be needed in the West Midlands the oldest single decks in the fleet are only 12 years old

Realistically you shouldn't need to purchase more single deckers for another 3 years at least I imagine? Unless you convert double deck routes to single and expand

Is NX still planning to take on the 2nd hand vehicles in June. Is there going to be a new batch this year? Apart from the platinums confirmed for Dundee?

If those are still coming would they be for the JLR shuttle they're getting from Decoursey at the start of July?

With Dundee having 6687-6700 in the Autumn, can the West Midlands expect 6601-6686?

New Route 23 and 24 branding now out on some of the new platinums.

Yes, it's been mentioned a few times on the BC thread. I still think they're unfinished. Also, they look a bit rushed as the red strip already there on the Platinums goes over the branding. The 4/4A branding looks very smart though.
I wonder when the X20 and X22 branding will start.

Somebody linked it to the forum in the South Birmingham thread.

Looks so much better than the 37 branding, I do hope they've put up new interior route maps up, and put and applied new rear window brandings for the ones that are missing them. (2213/19/20/21) etc.

I do wonder if the E200 MMC's at YW will have 6 branding.

I agree, that looks very smart. The pink blends in nicely with the crimson livery and the black branding being applied on an area that is black already really looks the part. In my opinion, this branding style suits the MMC200s a lot more than the Scanias and Volvo B7RLEs

Yeah I agree with that. They look so much nicer.

It's actually the same branding with patches!

I agree and disagree with you - I agree it looks smart with the black branding being applied alongside the pink. I disagree, the Scania's and B7RLE's look loads better with new branding style.

Popped into the shop looking for an X20/X21/X22 leaflet but couldn't find one. Saw the 6 though and it looks like it might get some purple branding?
