At this rate, the new livery will be all conquering quite soon..........

1099 in NXWM / NXC livery I make it. 432 remaining to do, obviously this number will be less with new deliveries.

I made it 350-400 left but it was a very quick add up. At the current rate, these won't take too long. I thought that Trailways were mentioned a while back, doing a WN Trident in that big batch of 75?

The rate of repaints has sped up of late since more of the body prep work is being done by the garages, as has the quality of the repaints. I still think vehicle repaints should be chosen based on worst first rather than to coincide with MOT dates etc

I was on 4609 for the first time since its refurb, it looks great.

I have noticed that the first of the pull down seats was not replaced, can anyone confirm a reason for this?

I agree it looks great and plus you you can easily guess 4609 is my favorite NXWM bus. which route was it on today? 

Today, 4609 was on route 1.

4711 is now in, just one left in old livery at WB

So sad to see the toothpaste geminis disappearing

4083 back in garage repainted and refurbed. i think 4114 and 4054 have disappeared as well. only leaves 4044, 4049 and the unbranded presidents (4048, 4053 and 4113) in toothpaste livery, as well as the last gemini, 4712.
an empty bus is a happy driver.

Can't say I feel bad for WB losing the toothpaste livery as they've nicked our buses from Acocks Green so haaa! :)

WB or AG don't make the decisions. someone else in the company does, as previously stated on this forum. the garages have to provide what they can to please him or her.

enjoy your presidents....... :D

I know they don't decide but still. :)

I think the members from the old fotopic site will remember the WeHateWalsall campaign a couple of years ago.

Some buses which aren't receiving much love is WN's 43xx Tridents (except ex LH 4384 and 4385)

None are in the current livery, adn most seats are threadbare.

Are there any plans for this batch?

Most of them sit on the 94's, so i probably doubt it. ;D (after they moved to PB of course oops)

Was outside Walsall paintshop yesterday afternoon (was not there in the morning)

Tony

And in answer to why don't NXWM use outside contractors to help - 4120 is currently at Trailways, Bloxwich being refurbed
