There's a red & white E400 at Powertrain Willenhall.

Has E035 finally made it to Coventry?

I think E133 is also missing off the BC list, unless it has already been delivered to NXC.

The booth is currently being rebuilt for double decks, so nothing will be painted at all for the next 4-5 weeks, hopefully the first two double decks, likely to be 4989 and a WB 49xx will go in very soon so the bodymakers will have them ready for the booth as soon as it is finished

That's welcome news!

They'll be plenty of ex NXC double deckers to paint + catching up & removing red/white livery from E400's

As there appear to be 23 new Coventry electrics spread between BC and WA, has BC run out of spare room and is Bruntingthorpe still being used for storage? I'm guessing delivery will be completed in March (to NX at least, if not to CV).

Yes, BC if full, the branding team can put the livery on at a rate of 1 a day, so that's the current rate they are coming to the West Midlands from Hugglescote which has replaced Bruntingthorpe. Hopefully from next week Coventry will be able to run up to 100 electrics, so expect a flood into service if that happens

Don't know if they're there at this precise moment in time, but I've seen a red/white E400 at Powertrain in Willenhall & a Trident next door at Dawsons, as I've passed by on the 326 back to Bloxwich recently, but don't recall seeing them listed?

2171 has gone to Walsall for refurb. Before any one does the 'must be first to change Bustimes ' it hasn't transferred anywhere yet and the current plan is it will initially return to Coventry and I genuinely don't know whether it will get the blue or red stripes.

I don't think it's having a repaint now as someone changed it on bustimes to the new livery but Tony changed it back to blue

4891 was off the road for an engine rebuild, that is now completed and it is out in service

Hardly, the red and white are in worse condition than the all over blue. 4883 looked smart in all over blue and yet you have scruffs like 4913, 4922/5 etc running about.

Why are vehicles that are staying in Coventry for a while being prioritised over tatty things that all the other depots have? These B7's were only done a few years ago and you've had half of the E400's never done since new going round with rock hard seats.

To get Coventry uniform, and make it easier when they do leave. If you only do E400s which take twice as long as a B7RLE then the painters end up with big gaps with no buses to paint

I suspect it is anything but unique, and any noise was due to the engine being very worn which is why it has been off the road for a couple of months having the engine rebuilt.

And hopefully it won't be 'thrashed' either beaten in a sporting event or even worse the other definitiion an act of physically beating someone; a beating.

Miller Street's primary roll is maintaining the training fleet, but there is a workshop there where engines are rebuilt.

If any other vehicles would have been there they would be on the list, two left last week including 4770

By my reckoning that makes all the 11reg Coventry examples have been through Walsall for a repaint in either the two tone blue or the grey livery.

Yes, 4885 is the oldest never to have had a repaint, and will be the next BC bus in, unless another has an RTC

A bit surprised to see 4770 back at CV - last I saw (admittedly on Bustimes) it was running in service from WB.

It has never been to West Bromwich. The engine blew while it was in service at Coventry. It went to Miller Street for the engine to be rebuilt, and now back to Coventry for them to MoT it before going to WB, probably this week.

Bustimes last records it in service on the Coventry 3 on the 19th July

Any one know where 1945 and 1946 are now, I've been told they have been moved from West Bromwich garage, I'm assuming they have gone to one of two either miller street or pensnett.

I think he is asking how one bus simultaneously at two different garages as E203 has been put down on both PN and WN garage but it is most likely a typing error
