Is 4357 getting a quick repaint, as that was in the paintshop this afternoon too?

I missed one off my original posting, now added
WA 1880 is also in progress, the last one with 4 route branding.
Next 3 out are likely to be 4491; 4496 & 4836
4695 in garage this morning, completing the set of ex-Coventry Geminis
Is there a specific training livery now, or just all over white?
I know there's 2 training buses liveried up to promote training anyway.
Has 1888 been repainted because when I saw it last week it's rear add had gone

What colour was it? That's the clue, the white back end. If it had been repainted the back would be crimson
Proberbly a case of the ad has expires hence the removal of it

I would imagine they are in better condition than many of the early Tridents which appear to be first to go.

@Tony - from this viewpoint your efforts are hugely appreciated.

It's a shame they've been allowed to deteriorate so badly as mechanically I would imagine they are pretty sound. I think it's a very sensible use of funds and long overdue, especially as they are running alongside new Platinum vehicles in places now. I will convince myself that my constant moaning helped, even though I know it was absolutely nothing to do with it 🙂

It seems strange as you look at the y reg tridents which are older but in far better condition. WN 4546( I think) needs a good tidy up.

Nope haven't been on that in a while. I was on about as a whole though. Just a question I presume NX have plenty of the blue and grey seats- as new order have grey and red seats??

Retrimming? I thought it would just be repaints. Will be nice if they do get refurbed, however, 4285 doesn't really need a retrim, it has a recent TWM older Blue Moquette inside. The paint is dreadful on 4285, however.

Might look abit rough on the outside, doesn't mean its ready for scrap.
I assume the PN bus has been done, 4198.

4572? Isn't that already repainted?

sorry, it's 4576
Isn't 4144 missing from the list
@Tony ?
Still nothing for Wolves yet, apart from the Platties?

No, as it is a transfer to Coventry, so not a proper repaint. Just having the red painted blue. What I'm led to believe
You never know, it may have the white repainted too, to tidy it up a bit

I've asked for it to have a full repaint, not sure if it is getting one yet
4277 now done
4875 is on the 60 fresh it looks
4144 now at Coventry. It has had a full repaint

Is that the lowest numbered double deck to get a full repaint since...well 4076, in recent times?

Yes John, I over wrote the wrong vehicle, 4240 & 4285 are the two currently at Walsall
4501 is mentioned in the 'Vehicles Currently In Paintshop' list, and is in the 'Vehicles Painted since Last Update'. Surely it's an error.
1773 was our today on the 4/h/m.

So much for the corporate look! (in Coventry). Suppose it makes us a bit different. I don't think any other Enviro 400's have received a full repaint into the 'old' livery since 2015?
No Coventry Enviros had ever been repainted, so....I think you right!

Quote from: YN63 BYJ on April 08, 2017, 08:48:30 PM

No, as none of the red buses have WiFi. It just seems people in Coventry think the new blue livery means WiFi is on that bus. Stupid idea to stop new Coventry repaints getting the new blue livery
1762 back in service in Crimson, completing WA's batch of B7RLE's.
4507 is now back at Perry Barr after having the crimson treatment. Just saw it pass me on Kingstanding Road with an engineer driving it on a run to Kingstanding Circle then back to PB.
4285 is out on the 65/7
Are all Walsall's Scanias getting a repaint next, or are some being held back, depending on when they had a red & white repaint?
(Think the one's I'm refering to were the ex PB's that have the fleetname above the door / drivers side rather than in the centre!)

What's the reasoning behind that, given that others in that batch, namely the ones now at YW, are being repainted into crimson? I know the saga behind the latest Coventry reprints but I thought that everything above 4425 would be getting the new livery from now.

Each Year buses are nominated for refurbishment in the following year. Total number being dependant on money available. The YW & BC ones need doing under the SQPS agreement so were authorised last year. No more Tridents or Geminis will be authorised as the life left doesn't warrant the spend.
Buses that are an embarrassment will still be given a repaint, but not a refurb

@YN63 BYJ E.g. 4285 was unbelievable before it had its repaint, it looks a lot more better now.

Each Year buses are nominated for refurbishment in the following year. Total number being dependant on money available. The YW & BC ones need doing under the SQPS agreement so were authorised last year. No more Tridents or Geminis will be authorised as the life left doesn't warrant the spend.
Buses that are an embarrassment will still be given a repaint, but not a refurb
I see - thanks for the explanation

So to clarify not all buses 4425 and over will be getting refurb now?

They never were
All that was ever said was any refurbs above 4425 would get the new livery

So the likes of 4272 ( excellent interior refurb) will get withdrawn yet the likes of 4550 will carry on for many years with an awful interior??

Where have I or anyone else said that?
4272 is about to have a Euro 6 exhaust system put on so won't be going anywhere other than Birmingham City Centre regularly.

Sorry a misunderstanding. Glad to see that 4272 is getting an exhaust system as it certainly doesn't look it's age. 16 years old now I believe... And you certainly wouldn't guess it.

It will be interesting to see which buses get withdrawn when this years new buses begin to arrive and where the new buses will be with much of the older fleet being given some care and attention.
4144 has certainly got a new lease of life in Coventry and feels newer than buses such as 4403 & 4405 which are in a bit more of a sorry state.

Would be nice if it did have a Crimson Repaint and a new nearside ad-frame.
Explains why I haven't seen it on the 51 in the last week or too.

4550 now at Walsall for repaint. I believe that removes all 'dog bone' livery from all vehicles above 4261
Just a few WB B7/ALX and a few 41xx Tridents left now as far as double decks go.
Just Walsall & Yardley Scanias left in Single decks

True, but if I were going to get on a bus and I had a choice I'd personally pick the cleaner one. It's just the way people are programmed : pick the nicer looking bus!

As a passenger, I will get on the first bus that turns up that will take me to where I need to get to in the shortest time possible. I'm not particularly fussed how it looks on the outside, if its a bit grubby and dirty inside, I might be a bit annoyed, but I'm not going to get off and wait for the next one instead, in the hope it might be a 'bit nicer'.

No, people get the first bus that comes, whether it looks nice, or looks tatty. Most passengers just want to get from A to B and will get the first bus that comes. Nobody is going to wait around for a nicer looking bus either.

How about 4289 Tony? I believe it is our last B7TL with them (not including 4253) unless it has gone in for repaint already
It has the remains of the bars above the lower windows from its lower repaint a few years ago

Does anybody know why the 454x and 455x Tridents at WN are only getting red and white repaints when the interior trim of these buses is disgraceful and other buses from 4425 upwards seem to be getting full crimson refurbs?

Nothing under 4718 is being refurbished in Crimson now, only the remainder of the batches approved for Crimson refurb last year are receiving the full Crimson treatment. A few select older buses in early NX livery with radiator bars are having red/white repaints only

Thanks for the update. I presume 4280 will go in after its Mega Ad is removed. The red is fully salmon pink.
Am I right in presuming that only B7TLs have received the new exhaust treatment gubbins? Are Tridents going to get it?

Most of BC's Tridents have them, some at Pensnett and Yardley Wood also have them.
All 44xx, 45xx, 46xx at BC
All 44xx at PN
All 45xx at YW, 11 43xx at YW
All crimson Gemini at AG
All Gemini at PB
Most 42xx at PB
Some 42xx at WB
Thanks. Presumably the flap for the ad blue is in a different position on the Tridents.

The seat backs on 2022 haven't had the etchings and lighter burns removed. So much for a refurb. Looks mint on the outside though!

Just a repaint?

It's had all of its lower panels replaced too. They are now flat compared to the unrepainted ones that have a groove in them.
Will 4289 ever get its touch-up repaint? Only asking as it looks an absolute mess compared to all the others at PB which have repainted.

Can ask the same for 4260. 4260 is very pink on the front and still got the connection bars.

Tony said that all ALX400 repaints would happen after the 4th June transfers.
4226 at AG and 4253 at WB look a mess as well.

I'd throw 4249 into that mix also
After the Scanias, which of the Walsall fleet will get Crimsoned next?

Maybe the Urban 2's? The Omnilinks probably won't be done by the end of this year?

So does 4275 at WB. 4251 looks very neat with its connection Bars and refurbed interior.

Nope, a refurb thats just 95% complete.
Not the first time vandalism has been missed in the process. 1643, 4348 spring to mind.
Quote from: John on May 10, 2017, 09:13:36 PM
How about 4289 Tony? I believe it is our last B7TL with them (not including 4253) unless it has gone in for repaint already
It has the remains of the bars above the lower windows from its lower repaint a few years ago
4226, 4233, 4251, 4253, 4257, 4260 and 4289? all still have the connection bars
4233 now at Walsall for a quicky red/white
Not sure if it's the photograph in bright sunlight - recently completed 1881 at Bordesley looks to be in one shade of red only? Is this a potential new standard?

It's in standard two tone livery.
I don't know how long ago 4507 was done. But the repaint job on it looks impeccable

Its been back at least 2 months now. Shows how good the repaints are
Can i ask why ( I might be missing somthing) is 4676 and 4840 not repainted into the 2 tone red and 2 blue respectively

4840 isn't 2 tone blue because people in Coventry think 2 tone blue Buses mean they have wifi fitted. Not sure why 4676 hasn't been repainted in Crimson.

It says a page back in this thread that 4676 was repainted due to accident damage in red and white.

Yes I know that it had an accident. I just don't get why it was redone in red/white and not Crimson.

Because it's only had a repaint as per the ALX400's. It doesn't have Crimson interior.
Nothing below 4718 is now been Crimson'd other than the batches which Tony confirmed not so long ago, as they were approved last year for refurb.

Makes sense now. It doesn't have a trap fitted either so 4676's time won't be as long as the the 'trapped' Buses.

Not necessarily, having traps fitted doesn't equal Crimson upgrade. Some B7TL/ALX400's have had traps fitted, yet are not worthy of Crimson refurb's due to their remaining service life left.
4637 is in the paintshop. (See background of latest 2023 pic)
Presumably 4651/58 will follow for the Crimson treatment.

If they're fitted with the relevant traps they COULD get crimson.

So have two 11 branded Gemini's. 4660 and 4679.

As confirmed by Tony:
Quote from: Tony on April 13, 2017, 06:15:09 PM
Each Year buses are nominated for refurbishment in the following year. Total number being dependant on money available. The YW & BC ones need doing under the SQPS agreement so were authorised last year. No more Tridents or Geminis will be authorised as the life left doesn't warrant the spend.
Buses that are an embarrassment will still be given a repaint, but not a refurb
I can see 4637 going Crimson. Especially with a Crimson highlight of it on 4475-4698 page
4637 was only repainted in 2015. It wasn't it a shoddy state. It was actually quite clean. Plus as Jack has just said, it's got a Crimson highlight on the fleet number on the fleet list. Maybe 4502/4637/4651/4658 were already authorised on this list and they just haven't got round to doing them.

Most of the 46** that got repainted into red/white hadn't even been done a year since they got Crimsoned. The only 3 that I know weren't done during 2014/15 into red/white and got redone in Crimson were 4524/4644/4653 which were previously repainted into red/white in 2012. A few 45** and 46** had the connection bars when they got repainted/refurbed.

Wasn't it because they wanted to keep the Crimson Gems off the 11? This was before the ALX400 B7TLs were at AG. I'm pretty that's why they left them in red/white.
Quote from: BN on July 04, 2017, 08:50:53 PM
Collecting 2023 tomorrow.
Should be out tomorrow on the 25 along with 2022.
bn why they putting them on the 25, and deckers on usual b7 allocated routes?
2024's repaint/retrim is complete.

One minute BEFORE!
Is the Coventry livery being replanned? Just read an article on nxwm liveries and feel that the cream and blue that was considered could look good on CV vehicles, or crimson version of the heritage colours of Coventry?
I've just taken 4596 back to BC In Crimson. 1837 also just being finished off

I think the Trident in old Coventry livery looks good, so a 'crimson' version of that with cream instead of the lighter crimson would look good. There'd still be the problem of Coventry people telling which vehicles have wifi though.
Not if the whole fleet was retrofitted as in other cities!

4251 pictured outside the paintshop today. First WB quick repaint?
Also next to it is a Coventry Transbus Trident. Could it be 4452?

Noooooo! That one was always smart. The paint always went with its interior. Looked smart still aswell. 4251 was the smartest at WB with its connection bars, whereas 4275 looks a right mess and 4274's rear is abit all over the place. Don't get why the didn't start with the more tatty ones first.

I don't quite understand why they repainted 1841 in crimson when it looked in an immaculate state compared to 1860 and the other scruffy bunch.

1841's red/white repaint was roughly 3 years ago whereas, say, 1855 had red/white paint from new.

The same for 1837. I'm guessing WA want all their Omnilinks to be Crimsoned ASAP. 1860 doesn't look that bad. 1855 was a mess and 1853 and 1878 look terrible.
Walsall tend to put them into paint just before mot expiry. So they're presented I. Immaculate condition

Kind of strange how bad most of these Scanias look. When was the last time they were painted?

The '58' and '09' plates at WA in Red/White haven't been painted since new apart from 1896 which was fully repainted and refurbed in late 2013. The '57' plates were repainted in 2014/5.
1918 returned to WB yesterday.

Explains why they look worse than the Tridents/Gemini's (except 4128 and a few others)

ALX400 B7TLs are a mess. 4226, 4257, 4274, 4275, 4289 are the worst ones I've seen. 4173 is the worst Trident I've seen. All the Gemini's (in red/white) look fine.

Have you actually looked at that photo on flikr?
How on earth can you say it looked smart? It's a disgrace, different whites on the side, random patterns on the rear where a megarear has pulled the varnish off. Bashed lower panels and completely the wrong shade of red

The rear has always been a mess but the offside and nearside looked smart in my opinion. No missing connection bars. Eventhough the rear has been ruined it will still be a favourite of mine.
A disgrace is 4275. Looking at the photo from the 8th July, I can see repainted lower panels in two shades of white, missing connection bars and some dented panels. 4251 looked a lot better. Maybe you should blame the AD Agency for putting too much of that sticky stuff (hot glue) to the rear AD and pulling the paint away.
Some of WA's Crimson Omnilinks have signs of salmon pink from their previous livery. I call that a mess.
Can't say I've seen any signs of salmon pink showing through on WA's Scanias, or any of the Scanias. Miles better in the Crimson and done to a good standard. Only improvement I would say that needs implementing is the internal poles being resprayed; for some reason some of WA seem to have been done at some stage, but the likes of YW's haven't.

Have a look at some of the photos of them. The picture of 1881 from the 19th June has signs of salmon pink. If you look closely at the near side arm for the wing mirror you can see a patch of pink, especially in the sun. They look better in Crimson. I've just seen it on some of WA's, 1881 is the worst I've seen. It's let's the fleet down really. Been looking at 4431 in Crimson now and I've seen salmon pink right above the front upper deck windows. It's a shame as the Crimson is extremely smart, especially when it's been freshly painted.
Some of the poles have been repainted on Omnilinks and there is some that are orange. PB's 186* and 187* are all resprayed.

I think the pink-ish colour of 1881 on that photo is just the lighting, it looks fine on it's most recent picture where it's not in full on sunlight. I'm guessing it doesn't look pink at all in person, since photos aren't always accurate.

Given 2167 would be the first Coventry Volvo to be repainted,is it going to get what the Enviros for the 11/12 received or not?
Judging by a comment made on here recently, I'm guessing, although not willing to put money on, that we may see something different on 2167.
I guess we will have to wait and see.

Seems early for a 4 year old bus to be getting a repaint when there are a lot of 2011/12 buses still not done. Is this one in for a specific reason or is it just the first of the 2013 batch to go in?

The 2153-77 batch at Coventry don't look too bad in the main, although the white area on some is looking a bit patchy. 25 vehicles to repaint from one garage is quite a lot - so this is going to take a while I presume.

4251 is back from its repaint and on the 5 today
When the Hybrids (5401-5430, 5501-5518) are repainted/refurbished whenever that is what livery will they get? I did here a whisper at Cannon Hill Park that will just be crimsoned, If this is the case will they have leaves painted/printed on them like some London Hybrids ?

I'll do a full update later in the week, but 4628 is now at Walsall, so that completes the whole of the 46xx batch of Tridents at BC.
It is also the last Trident currently planned for a full refurb
I,and others no doubt,will await the update with interest.

Hybrids in paint?? New livery?
Crimson with a green line or a lighter Dundee version?
Will they lose their green moquette? A bit early for replacement, I'd have thought.

The B7RLE at Wolverhampton, that are the same age as the 61 Plate Hybrids, lost there grey dot moqutte, in return for the grey/red dot crimson moquette.

Green and yellow seats have worn very well compared to the blue and grey in my opinion

Besides the seat facings, the interiors of the B5LHs are still looking very smart all round for their age. It's a bright and pleasant environment with the green and yellow. Would be a shame if it all went grey.
I wonder if 4520 will get a new Hanover display, or if it'll just get a static display on the front saying Driver Training or similar. Maybe it'll get one of the Plaxton's front LED display that are most likely lying around at Miller Street. Bloody great improvement the training fleet is getting. Varied too. A Scania, a E400, a B7TL and a Trident.

Yes I agree quite varied, I guess it willgive newbies a real idea of current service buses rather than those sheds the B10L,s
When I did my training we used service metrobuses and Lynx bus all good
Was 4520 involved in a RTC for it to warrant a new front end
There is a picture on Facebook of 4697 in its new training livery

I agree with that. The Hybrids still seem in pretty good condition and the green and yellow colours are bright and something different.
The hybrids are going in standard crimson externally, but retaining the existing internal colours.

Yeah the whole front was f**ked. It was the one that went head on into a Scania Omnilink in Kings Heath 2 years ago. It's been off road since.

The rebuild of 4520 seems to be taking a very long time.

Can't say I'm not disappointed that it's not a livery variant; on the other hand fleet uniformity is always nice. I guess the Hybrid novelty factor's just worn off then? Unless it gets vinyls, I s'pose.

They may well just get some special vinyl's advertising their Hybrid / Green Credential's externally as per Tfl Hybrid buses

Bloody hell that head on crash was 2 years a go, it only seems like it happened recently.
I do recall seeing a shops cctv footage of it , it appeared the driver of 4520 speeded up strange one.
Was the scania repaired or is that lying about somewhere.

The Scania involved was 1918, wasn't it? Now at WB (I'm not certain on this)

No, that one crashed on a YW 2 or 3 service, driver lost his life, hence why it moved from YW to WB

It was 1926. We have it now. Heard its a good bus
Quote from: Winston on October 14, 2017, 10:55:28 AM
YW 2 or 3 service
YW 6 most likely, or YW 2, the 3 turns of the Stratford Road at Highgate Road.

It was a 6 by Formans Road where 1918 crashed. The 2 turns off at Court Road before Formans Road.

Yeah basically the driver of 4520 lost control. He zoned out whilst driving due to some sort of condition.
I always think imagine being in that Scania and not being able to do anything about it.
There was a bit of a joke at the garage after the incident. I recall overtaking another bus on the 37 as an oncoming 37 stopped to give me way. The driver was covering his face as if my bus was about to crash into his lol. Good times.
I believe 1924 was named after the driver of 1918 that had the accident on the Stratford Road while on the 6.

How many Gemini's will go into training livery?

Just the one, 4520 for now, it was damaged in a RTA.
Looks like the last YW Omnilink has gone into paint - 1922.
Maybe when 1922 is released they will start on the '61' plate E400's at WA (4857-4870)? They are way overdue repaint now.

Surely 1929/31/32/34/35 would be the next ones to go in logically, to clear the whole batch?

What about 4651 and 4658 (when it's AD is removed). The 5 red/white Omnilinks at PB should stay as they are purely for them being the oddballs of the PB's Omnilinks. I think they won't be done for a while. I'll be sad to hear when the first goes for repaint.

Keep them in an old tatty livery just because you want them to stand out ?
The livery has faded on them and they still have the connector bars.

No I never said just to keep them in old livery. I just like them for the fact they stand out beening the last Red/White Omnilinks PB will ever have. As if I didn't know the livery hadn't faded on them (I've ridden them all apart from 1931) and they do look a mess.

As some of you have seen on Facebook, 3225 is now at Walsall for repaint.
2059 is the other WN bus currently in
4628 is ready for collection by BC completing Trident refurbs.

There is currently a former Midland Red Daimler Fleetline DD12 at Worcester garage in from Wythall that is having mechanical work done in the hope of getting it back on the road as a regular runner. The DD12 fleet number 6015 my well have met 3225 in actual service in Birmingham at some point 50+ years ago so it is nice to see these classics both still around.

3225 hasn't had a repaint since 1995 (22 years) and while it still looks very smart at a distance there are a couple of knocks, corrosion and places where the paint has fallen off, so it will be nice to have it looking as close to perfect as you can make the exterior of a 63 year old bus look
I have noticed no west brom buses at Walsall for refurbs hasn't been for a while , then I think of the garages fleet nothing needs doing i assume, 4200s that were forgotten about wont get a look in, scanias are all done as to Enviro 400 tridents, I can't see the 4900s being done till 2019 , maybe the early enviro 200s possible or will these be treated like the ALX400 B7TLs on the constant back burner.

Will some E400's be displaced somewhere? As I think BC will have way too many E400's for the Pershore Road and 60, unless they upgrade the 14? But I doubt that would happen, E400's are too new for the 14 :P

Look out for what?
94 - Mostly 2003 Gemini.
63 - Mostly 2012/13/14 E400.
Yes the 94 has had new buses (2003 Tridents) since the 63 last had new buses, but how is that surprising. And it doesn't mean it's using vehicles that are older than whats on the 94.
Is it 2002 (Jubilee Line) for the 63 & 2003 (4455-74) for the 94?

Yes, 4455-4474 were for the 94. Jubilee line was for the 61 and 63.
I thought the original New buses for the 94 was those that are now on the 97 and arrived branded for the 94 etc in around 2001/2

2003 Tridents. But the Gemini's are the same age and just as smart the Tridents, but the 94 see's 2005 Gemini's on a daily basis, and the E400's which are common, and a ALX400.

The new buses for the 94 (4455-4474) are now branded for the 97 yeah. They're 03 plates.
Before that the 97 had those 41xx Tridents (96/97 branded)

I assume 2148 is a full blue repaint
4595 & 4596 now in crimson, making these Walsall's first dd's in new livery.
Spotted in Walsall between 5 & 530 tonight.

4594 as well. Hopefully they'll make it onto the 51 at some stage.

They've been in Crimson since August/September.

They were crimsoned while still at BC
Least Walsall does now have some crimson dd's.
Is 4289 any closer for its repaint? It's following me all over the place now and it's salmon paint is pealing away by the windscreen. Feels like 4280 and 4289 have been forgotten about. 4226 still looks somewhat presentable, retains all its connection bars compared to messy 4289.

4280 has a rear ad so the contract might not be over yet. Won't go for repaint until the contract has finished, if it will go in at all

Oh yeah I forgot about that, isn't it for Motorpoint? 4284 has one as well for some one else. Not sure about 4291. 4289 is in a shocking state.

Yes it is for Motorpoint. 4291 has one as well, not the same advert though

Funny considering they are the Ex-Samsung all over ad buses - excluding 4290.
@Tony What WA buses are currently in the paint shop and what WA vehicles long term VOR?
@Kevin2017 - You didn't need to quote the entire list of repaints.
Tony will post a new list once there has been a number of changes, little will of changed from the last list as the paintshop is typcially closed for two weeks over Xmas & New Year

Tony has said before the paint shop is closed for Christmas and has only probably reopened today. He usually updates this thread when he knows so be patient.
Also been confirmed the BC hybrids are being focused on as they have been debranded and are in need for the repaint
Walsall will probably have a few scanias in
And are VOR's are usually mention in the garage thread if there's any

PB Gemini's too.
I wonder if 4718-4737 will ever get their repaints
On the note of e400s has 4877 returned from its crimsoning

Omnicitys and BY Omnilinks too. Some of them look tatty now, the red has faded into orange.
The '61' plate E400's at Walsall should be done soon as well, hopefully!

In relation to the Central Enviro,it will be announced as done when Tony says it is BUT I'd assume it's imminent.
4878 will probably bump up the queue, it's sitting in BC with front end damage!
