6104 will be the first, it will be painted next week, 6998 was an error, It's just having the 16 route branding removed

[Secondary trigger 28]

Is 6148 getting a repaint   aswell?

[Tony]

Is 6148 getting a repaint  aswell?

It will hopefully go back to AG tomorrow, but it will go straight into the MoT programme so won't be seen on the road for a bit longer

So they can do another BCT livery but they can't replace the Wolverhampton livery that 4535 carried....

4535 wasn't a planned withdrawal and this livery was already planned for this vehicle ages ago...

You worded this far nicer than I could have done. Pity about this modern world where everything has to be done instantly

Do something positive and the first comment is a moan

Not moaning just saying how its funny that 
4453 got withdrawn for similar circumstances of 4535 and 875 was painted to replace it 

4535 is withdrawn and no replacement or even mention of anything to replace the livery...

Just remind us all what bus from Wolverhampton has gone for repaint since 4535 has been withdrawn, and then whilst your find that information use the crystal ball to work out where all the gold lines/stripes will sit on said bus.

Amazing how everything is a 5 minute job until it gets done in the real world

It was very much a negative moan. This was planned to replace euro 3 4651 last year, but you knew nothing about it. You have no idea if another Wolverhampton one is planned

There are still E400's in the Coventry Livery and I assume the Ex PB E400's might get repainted they might come out in WN Green. Just like 1834 did when 4601 self combusted
