I have put photos of 4877on the main site now

Good snap of the back, you can see the mini map, so are the Ex 935 buses definitely being branded alongside a few others, as I would like to see this branding more  :P

Bit unrelevent but will WA be using E400's for V festival shuttles this year? 4880-4 possibly?

As I said yesterday, it is more than likely that more than just the 4 ex-935 branded E400s will gain this new branding. the 935 only needed 4 buses in the daytime, and now Walsall have the 934/5/6, I was guessing that at least 10 buses will be branded, including 4880-4, as they have no front or rear logos where the green branding is applied.

Only 4 Walsall buses are due to be used, I expect these will be Tridents

The full list is
2 from WB
4 from WA
5 from AG
13 from BC
8 from PB
8 from WN
5 from YW

I don't have fleetnumbers yet

Thanks for the list Tony :) The 8 WN buses will probably be their own tridents like usual. I've noticed WA operated buses (The E400's without logos last year) picked up from Stafford and WN op's buses (Tridents) only picked up from Wolverhampton but i'm probably wrong

Wolverhampton will have its 8 own buses, 4 from BC and 2 from WB, mostly on services from Wolverhampton to Weston Park
Walsall will be operating all the other buses

Last year, did route branded buses ever get used on V festival shuttles?

Yes, AG certainly used 1 branded presidents

So most garages will send buses but will operate on loan to WA and WN (Makes sense as WN and WA are the closest garages to Wolverhampton/Stafford/Telford. I've noticedd on the bus notices that they are picking up from telford.

Well the WA E400's (487*'s) had no logos as they had just came back from Olympics duties

The Perry Barr E400s (4851-4856) were used as well for London 2012, and some Coventry ones (4837-4842). I think some of those were also on V Fest as well. 4841 was as Tony got a picture of it in Stafford

Saw 4877 and 4878 in the flesh this evening in town so got to have a good look at the branding, and yes I do like it, looks smart. Just hope they stick with these routes now because they've messed around with the express routes down Kingstanding Rpad enough now

4879 - now 934/5/6 branded

I like it I take it 4880-4884 will be branded aswell hence why there is no NXWM Logo on the Front :)

Nor on the rear. I take it they will be, although none have been branded yet if they are
