The 40 service (West Bromwich to Wednesbury) is the next route to become a jointly run WMB service between NX and Diamond. The 223*'s from NX and some Streetlites (according to a post in another thread, examples transferred in from Redditch) being provided by Diamond.

One could argue that YW does in the form of 3225.

However, if the powers that be want to paint a BY Scania into WMT silver and blue, that would be most welcome!

So they are, but they are repaints that have taken up a slot and associated resources at Walsall, and moreover the repaint signifies an investment in their future on the road earning revenue.  To me the likes of 4780 should be included, as the gaps they represent are misleading.

At this rate hopefully we will see the fleet fully crimson\platinum\WMB by end of play 2020, are there any future plans for more heritage vehicles @Tony, maybe Midnald red or potentially more Birmingham City transports examples as a nod to the metrobus fleet from the late 90s.

And will probably stay that way as only 2232-6 are being painted as the 40 will only need 5 vehicles with Diamond running the other 4

@Tony are there any plans to repaint any more buses into old fleet liveries ie Red stripe single or double? Or has that been shelved due to pandemic & only Blue, Crimson or Green repaints are being done?

I'd imagine that those that don't qualify for a new livery will have long enough lives to warrant a red/white repaint.

@Tony just like with 4651 4722's body style suits the BCT livery well and should look fab once the transfers have been applies. As I asked before are there any plans for any other past liveries to be applied to any other buses when in repaint?

No. This one will be the last one for a bit. It was authorised before COVID, but there are other things for the company to concentrate on at the moment

Notice that after it's recent repaint 2100 has finally lost its Volvo identity from under the windscreen. Took 8 years for it to disappear. Why do NXWM have such a dislike of manufacturers identities appearing on their vehicles? Personally think it adds something to the vehicle to identify its source.

4722 what an an absolutely superb paint job. I'm sure when in service it will attract many admiring glances not to mention a lot of reminiscing. Well done NXWM. Makes you wonder why we ever let the livery disappear!

The lift in the spray booth has been out of action since the last update, so only one new full repaint in this update, but several accident damage vehicles have been patched up properly during this time. There is a big queue of buses ready for painting now, so they should come out one a day for the next week or so.

What's the rush for you with Wolverhampton's buses?
I've no idea. They will return when all the work is done on them. Things slow down during this time of year due to staff on holiday, and concentration on getting buses in service ready for schools

Isn't there also at least one Gemini in Birmingham City transport livery too so 4658 isn't the only one not in crimson?

4658 is in NX red and white - missed the boat for Crimson and it was in a overall ad wrap for a time - repainted red and white when the ad finished as crimson was only allowed by then on double deckers from 4718 or newer.

Refurbs are temporarily suspended at the moment. The spray booth has been playing up and more buses are needed for service, so as these come out they will not be replaced for the time being

Refurbs are temporarily suspended at the moment. The spray booth has been playing up and more buses are needed for service, so as these come out they will not be replaced for the time being

I only said refurbs were suspended, not repaints
Title: Re: Repaints and refurbishments 2020
Post by: don on November 07, 2020, 12:22:04 PM
I think you said before that 5409 would be done when it returns from its hospitalisation. Any idea when refurbs may restart, and if repaints aren't suspended is it likely some in the programme would be done but only repainted (like some of the WN 45xx a few years back - though those were incredibly threadbare still, interior wise)?

Presumably these are all financially based decisions but if not and it is only an equipment issue (awaiting repairs or finance to do them), given there's still about 175 red/blue and white buses to do, which would presumably be followed by the 2015 Crimson deliveries (some E200MMCs already done for WB and Dundee), which will be 6 yrs old from next March, is it possible some of the red or blue/white outstanding Scania/E200/E400/B7RLE and the remaining Streetlite be outsourced to avoid the programme extending? (I'm presuming you're aiming for a six year cycle though some are now beyond that (eg 4830/5).

I guess Covid is making a massive difference in many ways to operating a bus and coach company and broader business. And some of those red/white buses you post pictures of still look quite presentable in the photos.

The only reason refurbs are suspended is because we are running over 105% of service, so cannot afford to have buses of the road for a month

Thanks - makes sense - and I guess also why despite new vehicles older ones are retained to keep the levels up.

Yes, to run the normal service we need approximately 1500 buses on the road (That's not PVR). At the moment it is around 1570 plus the coaches that are helping out on schools as well

Refurbs are temporarily suspended at the moment. The spray booth has been playing up and more buses are needed for service.


Any idea of whether the fault has been fixed yet?
