Hi Simon

Are the any extra buses planned for the pop thing in Cofton Park this weekend? I haven't seen any details at Miller Street, but I would imagine the last Pershore Road & Bristol Road services could be a bit busy.

Hi Tony,

Garvey was on the case but was off yesterday and today so I will check with him tomorrow.  Certainly he had some plans.

Hi,

I have asked about the fleet names progress and 1592.  Here is the info:

The same team of people are applying the NXWM fleetname vinyls to TWM liveried buses at all the depots, which is why only one depot is being dealt with at a time.  BC is almost complete, and the YW fleet is well on its way. All the other garages will follow shortly, and it is planned to deal with the intermediate logos on 1592 when WB is visited

So They will start on WN's tridents soon? Thanks for the reply by the way :)

Simon, can you mention to the team about replacing fleetnames on already repainted buses which have had accident damage?

Off the top of my head at WB (may be more)

1582, 1607, 1653 - missing front fleetnames
4047 - missing nearside fleetname

One WA E400 has one of the logos from the side missing.

4875 is the E400 at WA with the logo missing offside. 4827 and 4828 at PE also have the fleetname missing on the offside  :)

Yes noticed that after it came back. Also WN tridents 4564,4571,4580 and 4580 have all had the front panel below the windscreen replaced without logos being reapplied.

A few of the 46xx Tridents at BC had a blank front panel for a while I know 4623, 4626, 4627 & 4629 had theirs replaced but now they've had the NXWM Logo's applied to them apart from 4623 which has been repainted

Hi Simon, Are there any future branding or transfer plans for any YW tridents, particularly 4370-4380? I only ask because the most recent repaint pattern for YW buses seems to have shifted from 4333-4341+ to 4370-4380, but the rest of the 43**s in general don't seem to be having much done to them. (Also I'm secretly hoping to see the BV52s branded for the 35 :P) Could just be random buses being coincidentally chosen but thought I'd ask anyway, especially with the presidents slowly leaving!
Cheers in advance!

Another surviving interim fleetname is on WA 1783

At some point last year it acquired the front panel off 1750. Still as per photo today

4875 has been like that for a while now. 4828 is also missing the connection bars. I think it is 4827 is also missing an offside logo
