The  rust has been visible on the exterior panels for years. Back in 1998 I saw one of them in Aston en route to Evobus in Barnsley for finishing - you could see rust forming already on the framework.

For some daft reason, Mercedes chose to use Mild Steel.....

It's ironic you saw one going to Barnsley - where some will be going very soon.

I saw a lot of mercs get refurbed at west brom completely reskinned except the roof , I don't think  any zinc primer was used , reason I say that a lot of  the refurbed mercs have some serious rust around the mouldings that cover the joins . I have extensive background in the motor trade some of quality of the work I,ve seen over the years just appalling .

Saw a Cov NXWM livery on a trailer on the M1 in Sheffield going North, must be a withdrawal, had no7 on the front. Only noticed as the M1 was blocked

It might be either 1555 or 1565 because there are only two fleets I could find as withdrawn in NXC livery on the Fleetlist

Quote from Pensnett thread:
1609 being towed down Wolverhampton road this afternoon on way to depot in the sky!

If it was an NXC liveried Merc it would have been 1555 which was also stored at Pensnett & on the for sale list to PVS, 1565 wasn't.

Ah, Thanks!

UPD: A bit late, checked through fleet list, it was 1555 and there is a small typo as well on the home page which is listed as 1540/2/5/7 instead of  55/7
