West Midlands Buses 2015

Buses in the West Midlands are managed by Centro, which has the brand name of Network West Midlands. Their logo, a stylised ‘n’ can be seen on bus stations, bus stops and travel literature in that area. The main bus operator, for the purpose of this video presentation, is National Express West Midlands (NXWM), but buses from Arriva Midlands, Central Buses, Diamond Bus, Hansons, Igo, Banga Travel, Claribels, Sunny Travel and First are also seen operating. Each operator has its own distinct livery and at the time of filming in June and July 2015, NXWM were re-branding and introducing a new livery across their fleets. In the West Midlands (excluding Coventry) the present white with a red front livery, introduced in 2007 is now changing to a smart deep red and maroon with gold trim scheme, with Platinum branded buses carrying a two-tone grey with a red trim livery. There are many interesting vehicles operated by the other fleets, which you will see when you watch this programme!
