So all the 2007-2011 vehicles are keeping worn out interiors, nice...

No, I have not said that, they will just not get the new stripy trim. Perhaps you ought to look at the 48xx at Pensnett and tell me that they have worn out interiors

That's not what the Engineering Manager tells me, but when they are repainted any worn moquette will be replaced

Do these double decker repaints mean that the lift at Walsall garage has finally been repaired or have nx made agreements elsewhere?

Tony indicated when he posted about 4884 arriving at Walsall for repainting that they were expecting the paintbooth to be fixed.

I started one.

Any update on when double deckers will be repainted? I know they were waiting for equipment but last update was quite a while back

No buses are currently being painted, they are being refurbished / prepped ready for when the spray booth is back up & running...
