One thing I have not kept a record of is which Mercedes are actually refurbished. Has anyone got a list of which ones have had full retrims and which have just had repaints?
Tony,
I have the following down as refurbished to varying degree's:
1515/17/18/20/21, 1523 ?, 1543/46, 1554, 1560, 1573, 1582 ?, 1585/86/89, 1593, 1610/14/18, 1627/29-31, 1633-35/37/1640-1644/47/49, 1653/57/58, 1661 ?, 1665/67, 1670/78, 1684/86, 1695 ?, 1699, 1704-1707 & 1743
I have WB's 1523, 1582 & 1695 unconfirmed as refurbs, Pete may be able to confirm the current status?
and I'm unsure whether of not WN's 1661 was just a repaint or refurb as well
HTH
1582 was a full refurb. 1661 was just a repaint as were 1523 and 1695.
1588 was a full refurbishment if you wish to count that

I'm pretty sure that was an early repaint only whilst it was still at LH
1527 was first into red, 1519 was second, 1571 was first into blue

I must have travelled on every WB Marc over the last 2 months or so. Unfortunately all the journeys have now blurred into 1 and I can't remember a thing :(

Don't worry Pete, Ashley beat u too it ;)
Damn. Not sure about 1577 though. I could have sworn it was mostly still in its original moquette.
Has 1516 been refurbished or just repainted?

I'm pretty sure it was just a repaint. The majority of buses with the NX connector bars at the rear will just have been repaints.
1516 started out just a repaint but somehow gained a full set of new trim in the few months i didnt have a journey on it.
I didnt say all but at least half of the seats on 1577 have new trim
I got on 1646 last night and a few of its seats have been retrimmed recently, do they just replace ones that get damaged

Belive they just replace the damaged ones, i.e 1561 has 3 different seat covers

Hear! Hear!
They should ensure every vehicle has a uniform set of seats at all times.
Oh, and another hundred buses are on order to cover those out of service being retrimmed.
And the cost of a standard ticket just rose to £4.00, and a Daysaver's a tenner.
