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.

Both at Coventry, I have just driven E102 to Coventry as well, so another off the list

Is there any reason why the number of service buses has dropped to just 4 in paint at anyone time during Feb?

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).
