New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[MasterPlan]

The unbranding of the 50's MMC seems to have been quick and painless with no traces left behind. Not like the X61, where you could still see the outlines afterwards. Is that because it's harder to remove from the grey livery or was it the style of branding used?

pretty sure style as the 50 and 9 have one big chunk come as the X61 had loads of separate parts and the 15 regs that went to the X12 and X10

You can still see that the branding was previously there. But if they're going to be rebranded, this won't be too much of an issue

Ah perhaps I haven't seen them closely enough then. Yeah I'd have thought they'd get branded up for the 11A/C anyway.

I just hope any branding applied is better than the current Outer Circle branding

The branding will be better because branding looks crap on red and white buses

Does it matter ?

Does it matter ?

Would you really put a Platinum on the 14 though?

Whats your reasoning for this?
BC use platinums in Small Heath and Hay Mills.
I've only ever seen one with the usb chargers not working and none of the seats are vandelised.

That probably has an equal chance of happen on most busy City routes to be honest.

Damaged USB ports on 16 plate Stagecoach Enviros in Merseyside have been removed from panels and covered with no smoking or cctv signs. Trent now have air charging panels on their new ADL single deck vehicles on Indigo and the i4.

One would expect the SOHO rd enviros to be trashed by now, but far from it every one I,ve been on is in surprisingly clean and vandal free condition upstairs  , the Dudley rd enviros seem worse
