The ones branded in the Albion colours aren't the new ones - these are just some of the existing stock repurposed. The two which are pictured above are from 2013, these weren't the original buses embossed with Matt and Jacob's names.

Ah. Shame they couldn’t have done their names on the new electric ones...especially as it would represent the club as a right on entity, which we all know it is.

Missed a trick there me thinks

I assume that the new buses are because the previous buses named after them are among the oldest in the fleet and they're being binned/sold off. A lasting tribute to the gents and also good to have BHAFC branded buses running around the City.

Correct.

Am I missing something. The Albion commend B&H Buses for naming the two buses after Matt & Jacob, and yet there have been two buses driving around town in the Albion colours with their names on for the past few years.
Is it a coincidence though that the inquest started today?

Maybe on purpose, just imagine if the emitted an orange glow as they went around town
