Long term dead 5406 back out after its conversion.

Thanks for info - has another one gone for conversion in replacement?

Thank you.

Thanks for the updates BN.  BNH2004 reported on 10th May that 5412 was seen on N3, not tracking. The vehicle last tracked on 5th May. Now tracking on 11th May on N2.

Can anyone confirm if this vehicle was out in service on 8th May, and if so, on which routes?

On 8th May, the following PL routes had missing sequential journey numbers indicating a vehicle(s) was missing/had faulty tracker:N2, N3, D8, N59, 529

Thanks.

Is 6793 on loan to West Bromwich as I've seen on bustimes as it tracking on WB82/87

No, 6973 has its fleetnumber programmed in wrong which is why we say reports should be 'actual' sightings

2001 now in for the new colours, 2002 should be joining it soon.

So Crimson will be a thing of the past then?

[Westy]

I've missed something here.

What new colours?

Simular colours to 871 I presume red where the blue is

Will it still have "Proud to serve the city if Wolverhampton" stickers after repaint?

Now I like that!

I guess it will make it easier to transfer between WM & Coventry fleets.

Only criticism I have is yet again NX have managed to get to a point where the vehicles they are going to keep long term are all in one livery, then they start again in a new livery.

Surely it would be advisable once repaints have finished, to stick to the one livery for a few years at least?

How long are they expecting to keep vehicles painted in red & white in the fleet?

BC have lots of E400 in red and white. And those E400 are still going to be in use for several years to come I would think. Others vehicles are in platinum and crimson, so 3 liveries not 1.
And I don't think any double decks have been repainted in about a year, so could be some time I guess. Bar the odd one such as 6110 of course.

Hopefully not.
