2025 - vehicles away from home garage

[Tony]

E243 now in service, was my ride home this evening on the 2

Were you on its first ever round trip, the 16:18 from Birmingham?

E267 is now at YW, should be at least one a day arriving this week.

Transfers out hopefully start tomorrow

Were you on its first ever round trip, the 16:18 from Birmingham?

Not that fortunate, got on around 6:30pm!

WMSNT 126

I was surprised to see 4726 is in the paint shop, and shown on bus times as a repaint in grey. I presume they're also being de-branded?

All of the 35 brandeds have been debranded now but 4726 was bad after having an advert removed I believe

2159 has just gone to Walsall for repaint, so 'Blue' buses are now down to single figures.

I remember you saying a while ago buses expected to be here in 2025 will go grey, and that 4880 and above will be refurbed. Is that still the case to qualify?

E010 getting a full repaint?

No, it says in brackets RTC repair along with 753

[frostjay974]

Sorry, I didn't realise thanks though

A bit unexpected not to see anything more from AG,WB or WN going in for a refurb at the moment. Or possibly not.
