Is it me or have they stopped repainting in cargo white??

You're not the only one thats noticed Peter, 4630 looks like it's received normal white instead of cargo white but I need to see 4630 just to be sure :)

I thought that as well, it may be the light reflecting off the side of the bus.

But I do like the logo. That the connection bars are in a different shade of grey to the West Midlands in the logo.

Another Fleetname variation?! Thats Number 7 I think now. Do NXWM have any idea of their own brand identity?  :o

584 at WB (Only the red has been painted, the white is not recent, as you can see where the rear connection bars were).

Thanks Jim, I presume that Dundee examples must still be in fairly good condition still internally then? you also don't seem to have so much of an issue with window etchings as NXWM experience

[Liberator9]

I agree; the Scanias that came down had no vandalism whatsoever. Some of the Ag ones sadly have light etchings on the very back window but the Dundee ones, none!

You should see some of the Perry Barr ones now!!
They don't even have the film on the windows.

[Stevo]

Yes, the Ag Scanias had scratched windows in their first two or three weeks.
