7147; 7160; 7166; 7167; 7169; 7173; 7176; 7179 have all been sold to Drew Wilson Coach Sales

7159 has gone to Bryans Coaches, Denny

[DavieDD2]

I'm surprised to 7147 on that list as it was a B10L, all the others are B10BLE's.

Think that means there are no withdrawn vehicles at Dundee and that has cleared all the older 7xxx Volvo single-deckers. Assuming 7423 is still a crew bus and trainers 1366/7151 remain in use as such.

Jim C, DavieDD2, are there are more XPlore Dundee buses repainted in the two tone green?

It would also be nice, should NX decide to order any, for some Streetdecks to replace the Plaxtons. I'm sure the livery would suit them.

[JIM C]

repaints are still suspended pending a decision from the bosses at birmingham .

According to Money Supermarket, insurers do not take colour into account when setting premiums for vehicles as the statistics are too unreliable...and other factors have far more influence. Studies in the past have shown similar, or contradictory results for different colours. I guess there must have been a particular incident

The ad says it seats 51. 45, more like!

[DavieDD2]

The 51 seats is probably right for a step entrance B10B, the buses for sale are B10BLE's which are 45 seaters.

[Tony]

As regards repaints
There is no problem with the livery itself, and that is not the reason for the suspension of repaints as has been suggested.
Repaints will be restarting very soon

Has 1776 been in an accident before? It has the different Wright logo at the front, very clean inside and also it has the new Euro 6 Volvo dashboard?
