Back on topic again...

When I finished tonight 3 of the Citaros in the Urban2 livery had received branding and the contractors were still on site so the fourth may be done by now.

Not very inspiring I'm sorry to say. With advertising boards on the lower panels, the only markings are above the windows advertising Monthly Tickets.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photo, it was dark and I only had my mobile with me.

Thanks, Adam! Shame the branding looks so uninspiring... Not a patch on the 'nimrod' branding :roll: :lol:

The advertising above the windows is for Worcester City passes so I would suspect they will mostly be found on Worcester Local routes. However, I bet they get everywhere!

I agree with Adam it doesn't look very inspiring at all
