The ex-wolves red and white tridents.

The whole point of the YW / WN swap was to give YW trapped vehicles for the Solihull AQPS. The only Tridents not trapped are all up to 4414 (except YW's) 4450-4 and the red/white 45xx and 46xx and 4601 at WA and WN

Obviously it's going to be sometime before the entire operational fleet will be crimson/blue/Platinum, due to gradual withdrawals of the red & whites that won't be repainted, but is there a projected date for completion, or is it in the 'lap of the gods'?

The first garage to be devoid of The red and white livery should happen next month

Oh ok. I thought they weren't trapped because some of them don't have the little sticker at the back saying that they have been trapped.

A few of PB's trapped Gemini's are missing the 95% cleaner buses stickers & they have been trapped for a while now @Busboy105

Don't rely on stickers.

Just check the offside for the extra adblue filler flap, much more reliable.

Would I be correct in thinking it's Perry Barr?

Yes and no. PB's red and whites are E200s that run on the 54/A and Scania deckers which  will both be crimsoned soon. My bet is on BC. The 36 will be passed onto Claribels in less than 2 weeks so 4366 and 4367 will either be withdrawn, sent back to the reserve fleet or to go to WN, WA, PN or even CV. Plus there are E400s that will be probably be crimsoned by the end of the month.

Central have a number of 14 plate Enviros which are in red and white. I can't see it being them.
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

But they are going to be crimsoned right? They're too young to be withdrawn.

The garage involved will do it because of a vehicle swap, it will not be because all remaining vehicles are painted

Do you have an idea what vehicles will be swapped?

The comment mentions red & white livery. Could also be Coventry who have some red and white E200s
