I've just seen the 244 turn right from Huntingtree Road onto Dunstall Road (like the 142). Have I missed something?

I don't think there have been any changes to the 244?

Exactly, I was not aware of any. It seemed a bit of an odd diversion to be on too, if that was the case

Were there passengers on board?  Could it have been an engineer taking a change bus up to the Squirrels to swap buses with the 244?

I could not see any passengers, but it was being driven by a normal driver. I'm sure it said Hayley Green on the front, too

I am impressed  :D A lot better than the O405N version

So will 2095-2103 gain this branding?


Looks as if it's smiling :D

I can't quite put my finger on why, but the branding on these and the CV B7RLEs reminds me of a child that's got hold of its mother's make up and not known when to stop.

Lmao! Love the analogy, Mike! It's dissimilar to Stephen Kings IT, or another famous weird scary clown.

On the subject of x96 branding, excellent use of space and design. Nice to see the shape of the actual bus being put in use.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Not seen a pic yet, but the led display has the usual surround but on the left is a yellow sticky note i think

I'll try and get a pic of the rear for you Matt :) Somebody will probably beat me to it ;) If not I'll try and photograph it on Monday for you :)

Anything that keeps those heaps away from Birmingham is a good thing in my eyes, well done to whoever decided to brand them! The branding itself actually looks alright.

2098 (Duncan Edwards) also branded

New one as I was on 2098 unbranded on 120 on Wednesday.

uniquicity

If 2098 is the last named one and 5 Mercs were done, that suggests 2094-98 will be branded?

the trainbasher

2097 Dave Heeley also done
