Would it not be an idea to put a poster on the buses affected telling people a little about the naming scheme (obviously not about every name), am sure there are more people out there that just thought that names were being selected at random.
There was something like that on one of the X96 branded B7's cant remember which one annoyingly.

i just think it might be a good PR thing for NE, showing people that they haven't just invented names, that they have consulted with there drivers and there is a reason for every name used.
The fact that they are only using girls names is infuriating me. If the names really do mean something to people, then why haven't they used any male names? Bit unfair! And you do get male buses.
Favourite buses currently:
871, 1828, 4421, 4764, 6101, 6108, 6116, 6118, 6121, 6848, 6849
Least favourite buses currently:
4203, 4213, 4398, 4419

Here is the new Soho Road branding
http://wmbusphotos.com/NXWM/4700-4879/4966.html
no nearside yet, it hadn't been applied!

Interesting that the 79 is given a mention

Very interesting..... Considering the 79 is a different garage so isn't going to use these buses
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

It's very smart and I do like the current branding efforts but there are now quite a few key corridors / routes all branded blue, some of them very similar shades like the 50, 51 and Soho Road. I know that not everything goes that well with red but time for something different perhaps like purple, lilac, orange, silver / grey?  Maybe the original 94 brown might make a comeback at some stage.

To celebrate 100 years of westbromwich corporation transport why not paint one of the new enviro's or other d/d in corporation colours like they have with coventry it would generate promotional interest in public transport?

Agree totally! It would have been nice if they could have done one, and of had it ready for the 100 year celebrations that were held yesterday at the Black Country Museum.

They'll put about the same effort into that as they did for Brum's 100 years... A line up of a handful of buses in a square and that's it...

Can't understand why they made it the 5 and not the 51, would have made it easier for people.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

May sound daft but possibly to avoid confusion with the Walsall 51

May sound daft but, wasn't the WA51 changed to that number at the same time, possibly to avoid confusion with the Walsall 51

The WA 51 has been numbered that for years

I'm not sure two service 51s both serving the Scott Arms would have been a good idea.
