4883 and 4884 have lost their names along with 4882 (I guess 4880 and 4881 have too), not long I guess till they will be 'sent to Coventry'.

Remember this was only pure congecture - not confirmed by Tony yet - but seems possible with the de-branding. The other interesting thing is there are a number of Coventry buses which you would expect were due for full blue livery - 483x/484x; 445x and possibly 488x (if indeed they transfer!!) - possibly awaiting completion of the green spray paint for the time being!!

I'd be surprised if they bother doing that small batch of slightly later Tridents (4450-54) as 4453 still carries the 100th anniversary livery and 4450 has already received a second coat of blue & white. Although they do fit inside the '4425 and more recent' rule. Next repaints due are presumably for 4830-42.

For the moment there are 2 Ronnie Morgans. I saw 4884 on the 29 and it still carries his name on the sides.

They all seem to be tracking now on the app, which is a relief, as it takes some of the guesswork out from when they'll actually turn up  :D

Still no audio/visual announcements yet though.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

I think 6832 ended up getting towed from Moat Lane...
