Sure you're not seeing the old Perry Barr buses that were branded for the Sutton services?

No I don't mean those. The one's I'm referring to have a blue stripe and blue on the front.

Unless they have missing parts of the branding.

How do you know what colour the stripe was if it's been debranded?

Because the stripe is still there, but there's no mention of West Bromwich Dudley etc anymore, just price branding.

I've seen some PN buses with just a green ring around the display too.

So they're the price branded ones then, not the route branded ones!

Yes! But what I'm asking is, are they ex-Soho branded buses? If so, why have they been debranded?

Would imagine as their still intended for the 74/74E which uses blue as its colour scheme for branding. After all, despite not been branded for the Soho road corridor these price branded buses are still regulars on there along with the route branded examples

[Dom]

The mention of the 75 is gradually being removed on the soho Road brandeds. Rear still says the same although I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

Does anyone know which journeys WB operate on the 140/241?

[4679]

I Believe it operates three morning trips on the 140 as it is a special duty as its the same driver Monday-Friday and Does

Dudley-Birmingham
Birmingham-Dudley
Dudley-Birmingham

It then changes to a 74 back to WB

Is it the same driver who used to do the 141/241 years ago?
