Winston, Yes 2063 was repainted due to accident damage (Don't ask what happened as i can't remember).

I have noticed that next to the door before the wheelarch on 2071 has had a touch of the bright shade of red

Externally, some of the BC E200s and B7's are already looking a bit battered...

Do you mean 4913 the E400, Rat, or 1913 the Scania Omnilink?

Mike K, 1913 the Omnilink.

I doubt it was on a parts run, are BC due to gain any?

Interesting. They've borrowed the odd Omnilink from BY in the past but I'm not aware of any others. I wouldn't have thought they are due any but what do I know.

I hope we do get some different single deckers, makes for interesting viewing when on a rare working.

BC doesn't have any requirement for any more single deckers unless any new routes are introduced in the future

I am aware Winston. That's why I said 'I hope'. You know, we've spoke about variation.

Fair point, I know where you're coming from....

I'd say, if Walsall still has every bus in NX fleet, that'll be the best garage to work for for bus nuts. With the sheer variation of vehicles it must be a joy. All the change I get is 41/43/44/46 Tridents. All the same basically.

Bordesley must have the least interesting fleet for drivers with wall to wall Omnilinks
