What about the Premier 997 liveries?

Like that carried on 4128 - albeit not branded - then later on 4680-5. I mean I don't think it's worthy of a bus to go in for repaint into this livery; simply because it was dedicated to one route. It was more of a glorified route branding!

4128 was the only Y reg that had the Premier 997 livery with a massive Travel West Midlands logo. 4680-4686 was white with red lines and 'Premier 997', and a nice hint of blue on the front. 4768-4776 were for Premier 997 in NXWM livery - massive grey roundel with 997 and tiny 'Premier' underneath it.

My favourite it Toothpaste, suited everything it was on. Made the Presidents and B10's look brand new with 1, 377 and 451 branding. It's a shame it didn't last long :(
