How many new routes have little publicity, buses from another route or depot and very little marketing - and have worked?
Compare that to new routes, with new branding and new/refurbished vehicles and endless marketing and think how successful they have been?
Actually, they were pushing it in Middlesbrough yesterday at the BuS Users event. Plus, given the X9/X10 B9s had a low-key launch on Teesside with 6043 being posed on Stockton High Street on Market Day and outside BHS the following day, I would expect a similar thing for the X7 in the next week.

This is likely to be a gradual process no doubt, and will expand to further vehicles in time.
I spotted it on a "Drifter" branded Versa this morning. Not sure of any other vehicles that have it yet, but I'm sure there will be some - just gone unnoticed because it's not something that's particularly eye grabbing!
The 'Crusader' Citaros had it yesterday.
