4776 is not leather though. Re-trimmed with the grey dot moquette

All of which, except 4776 will be taken into the paintshop as soon as slots are available, so get them while you can

6729's branding looks nice. Though, with that "splash" styled branding, in red, I might add, I would've thought the frequency circle and desination halo would've matched it... Nevertheless, it looks nice, and I guess it keeps consistency to the 900/957 branding. Also, I've noticed the outline of the 'splash' branding is the Birmingham skyline. Nice touch.  :P

Edit: Edit made to fleetnumber, now corrected, but I had 6029 written before.

I hadn't realised that was the Birmingham skyline - at first glance it looked as though someone had hurled a tin of red paint at the side of the bus. Is this 997 branding or generic X51/997 branding? I can see the 997 on the rear of the bus next to it but can't see any service numbers on 6729.

Some have 997 on and some have x51 but as they both inter work I can only assume it's just an advert for the route with some advertising x51 and some 997.

The 934/5/6 are now apparently not been converted until September and I would imagine these will have adverts for each route on different buses?

The main branding on the side just says fast to Birmingham with no reference to walsall which would suggest the 934/5/6 will use the same buses as 997/x51 (936 to brownhills)

6723-40 will have this branding for the X51/997
6741-54 will have different branding for the 934/5/6

So did I! I first saw it from my phone, but later opened it up on my computer for closer inspection... That's when I noticed the Selfridges building, with, what I believe resembles, St Martins Church next to it.
