So, presumably drivers travel in by the Metro, makes sense.

if they got the 74 to town the 52 would be birminghams most unreliable bus with no drivers showing up half the time because they are stuck on soho road!

Yes, 25 minutes travel time which is a bit tight

82/87 branding has started to go now, I think it's only the 11 branding and the 529 branding left now?

74 branding is easily the 2nd longest standing branding (after the 35) of all lasting nearly 11 years i reckon. the 74 buses dont actually look too bad as well

however 4966-4968 n 4979-4982 got its branding removed early...

does anyone know what influenced the decision to remove all branding, seemed a bit execcive esp when you had platinum branded routes like X21 X22 23 24, could branding not hv been removed on refurb.. some buses look worse without branding than branding

Yeah I noticed that even if the 75 still ran that wouldn't be accurate as it extended to Darlaston, I think some still have 75 to Wednesbury and the ones that were updated just removed the 75 to Wednesbury and kept the 79 reference to Wednesbury I believe the branding used to say 75/79 to Wednesbury maybe wrong there, the update deffo says 79 to Wednesbury now

Just seen 6971 without its 82/87 branding replaced with that ugly sticker slapped on it. Feels weird seeing it without the branding
