It is probably there from the Commonwealth games which is where the E400's were first used before coming down to WB.

Those are the 49**'s. The 47**'s weren't used there.

Probably because some idiot enthusiast thought it funny to stick one on?
That is why a load of strange stickers appeared bus stop plates and shelters some time ago

That's how 3022 for its TWM "twin peaks" logo on the front lol. One Sunday in Perry Barr garage.

Must've been that - never had a First sticker when running around at YW.

These oddities are nice though. The First one a bit random but it's nice to see the odd TWM logo now and then. 4312 had one on the rear emergency exit window upstairs but it was taken off which is a shame but anyway.

Sorry for drifting.

I think there were a number of Metrobuses that ended up with old West Midlands Travel sticker stuck on the upstairs  panel above the front window.
