Route De-Branding

[B.C Driver]

Your guess is as good as mine Rob.

Let's say this if they do stay unbranded it will be good to see them on different routes :)

Only saw 2 of the 4455 - 74 97 buses today, but the 2 I did see 4458 and 4468 have been freshly debranded....

4455 has been de-branded aswell

Are they receiving NEW Branding being they're having the Green Branding Removed or are they just being left unbranded

The 97 is to receive new branding in the same colour as 'Julie' for the Airport extension. I don't know which buses yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the batch of 41xx tridents that BC seem to be pushing through refurb at the moment

This should look smart and give buses to Chelmsley Wood a much needed upgrade. Just hope that this means that the 03 and 54 reg ones can be put on the bristol road corridor.

This topic reminds me, I saw 4043 a couple of days ago, in new livery. Finally leaving 4111 left at AG.

Wonder what will happen to Julie. If it will just get amended branding and stay allover red or a repaint into normal fleet livery with new branding?

4456/4469/4474/4752 now debranded from the 50 & 97 Respectively

[JoNi]

hooray the end of those ghastly green backs of buses!

4813 has lost its Hagley Road branding sometime last week

Can't be that many left with full Hagley road branding now, though the reason is a little more sinister than them getting new branding like as first thought what with the upcoming Enviro swaparooney

14 remaining unless some more have been done.

Don't understand why PE are wasting money from their budget getting them repainted if they are going to YW?

[Ashley]

Make them look a bit better I expect, maybe they're to be kept on the 50 for a few years

[nitromatt1]

I'm going to miss them, hope the replacements from PB/YW are good. I still need to photo 4815, 4817 and 4821 before they move as getting them on the 50 will be much more difficult for me

Will be interesting if we get the 25 from YW and any from PB, my gut feeling it will be 25 Enviros from YW (which will be more than enough to operate the 9) and 5 Mercs from somewhere else to cover the short fall. Just my feeling!

I do sincerely hope not, the 9 could do with a couple more workings as it is! Coupled with the 141, what's going to run that? The only way I can see PE benefiting is 30 newish Enviro's for say 35 older ones because no doubt there will be slightly more reliability issues, what with 4801 being towed this morning.
