1675 was branded for the 8, but as all Mercs are leaving BY, all 8 branding will bne removed
4652 was branded for the 11, I think all 11 branding is being removed as well

No it's getting Presidents!

1696 has lost it's 8 branding as well.

1700 is the only one I can confirm debranded from that list, but I haven't actually seen any 8 branded Mercs for days. Think they have all been done now. More Scanias are creeping onto the 8 and ex 8 branded mercs seem to be creeping onto the 55. Will miss the Mercs, the later ones (1628 onwards) are good buses.

John

1664 is now de-branded on the 17 today

I think a dark purple would suite the presidents on the 11 if it was going to be done, or just go to town and have visual grathics of the places of interest around the route eg, bourneville cadburys. :)

Bordesley Merc operation seems to be thin on the ground now. The only Merc I saw was de-branded 1702 on the 55A. Every 8A/C I saw was Omnilink.

This time next year the Omnilinks will be an absolute wreck.
