Has anyone noticed the new Midland Metro livery? The blue looks really smart. Sign of a multi modal consistent brand for Birmingham to come?

That’s been around since July 2018...

Indeed, it’s following the steps of TfL by having specific colours for specific types of transport.

Trains are Orange
Trams are Blue
Buses are Red
Cycles are Light Green

Etc....

I'm personally quite impressed that none of the triangles making up the West Midlands logo/symbol have fallen off/been removed yet! Guess it's higher quality vinyl than what we see on trains?

As well as turning increasingly blue, they've had a busy couple of weeks.
They had a nasty looking RTC in Wolverhampton a couple of weeks back where a tram actually derailed. The last of the old trams was finally removed. And last week, they started testing overnight to Victoria Square. Not sure if they made it any further along the extension.

The new sapphire blue colour has been around since Tuesday 16th 2018 ! with the first Tram being 31 which was latter named "cyrille regis" ,
of course this is now out of service having been hit at speed by some idiot in a car .
