withdrawn 4365 has had a replacement gearbox fitted, and sent as a reserve fleet vehicle to Walsall who have pushed it straight out into service. Just gone from garage to the Bus Station

Returning to WA for the 3rd time.

I was wondering how long BC plan to keep 2134-2137 only 4 a small amount. Is there any plans for them to move soon.

Where are they used now? As I never see them anymore, they certainly don't seem to go on the X20/X21/X22 anymore and the 10H always seems to be a platinum as well.
2136 is off the road long term, but what about the other 3?

Last one I saw was 2134 and that was operating the 97 on the 10th December.

When buses are transferred to & from Scotland, I know the vehicle is repainted externally & the seat covers are changed, but what about internal panels?

For example, when B7LRE's were transferred from Walsall to Dundee a few years back, they were a blue interior.

I'm assuming those were not changed, so said vehicles are running in Dundee in a 'mix' interior.

In fact, are new NX vehicles the same colour interior(except the seats!), irrespective of whether they're kept in England or Scotland?

The seats are the same colour. The interior of Dundee 17xx is identical to the interior of WA ones. Same as the newer B7RLEs and Geminis

Just photographed 4306 leaving Miller Street for Walsall. So I think it's as well as @PB2938.

Yes, extras, Walsall has a PVR increase later in January, they will also have vehicles at Graysons for Euro 6 in January so the 43xx are cover for those
