Both now finished. I suspect 4306 or 4307 or possible both are now being done, but haven't been able to confirm yet.

4562 will be the first of the Wolverhampton 3 finished refurb is done and now back at Walsall for paint

4309 is back in service on the 301 today

Cheers for that update Tony. I presume 4587 will replace 4573 in the paintshop

I'm going to mix it up and send something like 4595 instead.

That one has been in desperate need for a refurb and repaint for some time

Suggestion, Tony you seem to have the powers that be  ears so to say , when a vehicle is in for refurb while the seat cushions are out to be reupholstered , the interior should under go steam cleaning or through er deep clean , I think it would greatly help the appearance and get rid of  some those awfull smells. Many vehicles that I,ve seen com back fro refurb still grimy but with new cushions. It seems half arsed IMO.

I agree @2900, they call it a refurb, but really it's a repaint and new seat cushions.

Green Bus 121 - that qualifies as a refurb! I don't know if NX/TWM have ever done a proper refurb.
