I’ve got mixed feelings about these. |

The front roof and window looks weird,would take some getting used to. Oh no I actually like that curved almost dome shaped roof, I think it looks brilliant, and maybe an all over red at the bottom would look a bit better too |

They should have either left the volvo or put stagecoach logo in the grill area.

Can't wait to go on it but it does look a little odd |

Can't wait to go on it but it does look a little odd It’s certainly a marmite vehicle, unsurprising really when it’s such a bold and ‘avant-garde’ design |

Logos are being phased out from the front and rear of buses.
See page 119 of the PDF.
Well I thought that was an option? I mean the 276's BZLs still received them and so did the Electroliners with all the companies. I am not sure I assume companies might have misinterpreted the rules and perhaps the rules will be enforced further down the line as more new buses are delivered. |

Yes but looking at that document they've put the side operator logo in the wrong place and it's not allowed colour either. |

Yes but looking at that document they've put the side operator logo in the wrong place and it's not allowed colour either. I believe the full white note only refers to LTs. I can’t see any specific mention of colours further down the document but in practice most operators just opt for full white now. Even Go Ahead have dropped their yellow in their most recent logo. This is from November 2023, presumably contracts awarded, vehicles ordered and refurbishments completed before this latest spec don’t need to adhere to it. There will likely a tranche number it is valid from. As for the logo placement my guess would be they are in the right location. The logos for MVB1 are in exactly the same place and TfL haven’t yet published their specifications for the double decker version of the BZL, only the single decker. |

I did think that but if you look NBFL specific items are annotated as such. Also every bus on that document has white operator logos shown. |

True but the only specific reference to white logos appears in the NRM section and nowhere else despite white logos being shown in every diagram used. We already know the NRM required white logos whilst standard fleet didn’t and it doesn’t appear to have changed. |

New BZL would suit 25 or 86 can't wait what buses 257 247 169 getting bet on Electroliner for 169 247 BZL for 257 |
