i agree it should be left alone, its one of the guidelines that in Radio you do not express opinions on such things Politics is another, so on this occasion i cant fault NXWM for ignoring such things
Agreed. 
Don't judge me until you've walked in my size ten shoes.

It would be a very risky move, whether you support Israel or not. Not only would the bus be at risk of an arson attack but more importantly the drivers and passengers safety would be at risk.

It makes sense really to do the 61 and 57 plates, they are the oldest and won't have as much time left compared to the 13 plate+ ones so makes sense to give them their repaint first, the 57 plates and particularly 4841 look so faded.

These are just having a paint, so paint shop are turning them round quick. Makes sense to do the 4800's first, quicker into grey. Then carry on with the 4900's and B7's

WA4317

2025 still at WN but will be due into the Paintshop in about a week or 2. Also breaks up the dash of Coventry blue flooding the Paintshop currently and the first WN 6 to be debranded

WA4317

In the paint shop are,
4836/4840/4841/4842/4845
2170/2172/2173

2164 is getting the final touches applied before going back to CV

833 has returned and out on the 61 at Wolverhampton

Is 4845 a typo for something else?
