Looking at that picture does that mean they have left room for branding to be applied?

No, 4561 is being collected tomorrow though all being well

Give Walsall chance to finish the refurbishment of 4558 first!

@Tony, a polite yes or no would have been better :) What about 4561? Is that back yet?

Clearly a big effort is being made at the moment to improve the look/image of the fleet

What work is actual carried out on the refurbs?
Externally I believe all damaged panels/bodywork are replaced followed by a full repaint
Internally I believe all seat cushions are replaced

Is any additional work carried out such as internal repaints, new floors, deep clean, new windows overhauled mechanical units

Also does NX plan to refurb buses after a certain time period, say every 5 years (so 2 refurbs for a vehicle life of 15 years) so the fleet is kept refreshed?

4227 just arrived back at West Bromwich
