How come the fleetnames have been added before the repaint to the WM Bus livery?


They didn't do that when changing from 'Travel West Midlands' to 'National Express West Midlands' !

There's actually quite a few photographs on the main site of TWM liveried buses carrying the NXWM logo. The "new" logos certainly did crop up on the TWM liveried vehicles when that god-awful green frequency branding plagued the fleet!

Lots of photos on the main site of the toothpaste E400s with the new logos; 4698 & 4732, for instance. The example I referenced above is demonstrated on a few photos of 4167.

You also had the case of some buses having NXWM livery, but with the older TWM logo. I recall seeing it on some Omnilinks and Presidents at the time, although there could be others.

I just imagine it is an interim thing before they get repainted

The NXWM logos wasn't applied to 2013 around 5 years after being named NXWM. I remember some BC Tridents with awful green branding in TWM livery gained NXWM logos.
