I saw 4197 out on the Coventry Road today with a very new looking yet poorly done vinyl repaint...

Has anyone got a picture of any of these as I'd be interested to see how they look or could rephrase that to see just how bad they look  :P

However now some years have passed since then so its highly unlikely theyd waste money fixing them

4604 looking nice today on the 59. First time i've seen out since it came back into service a couple of days ago.

Any ideas when 4540 and 4603 will be back

4406 re-entered service in Coventry on services 6/6A today after undergoing refurb duely repainted and fitted with "black" seats.

Tony

4036 & 4479 are two more being done

Ashley

Any ideas why 4351 4383 and 4433 came out the paintshop half finished? As in without fleetnames, unrepainted doors and old fleetnumbers still showing?

see subjects NX livery vinyls and 4351.

They haven't been anywhere near the paintshop

I saw 4433 today - fleetname on front askew, side fleetname not in the usual position, vinyl cut to show fleetname, and worst of all - they'd vinyl'd over the dents! Third rate at best.

Bordesley is now putting NX fleetnames on its Omnilinks, at least 3 done on the 17 today, here is 1800, much tidier than what Coventry did on the borrowed ones

That does look very smart, about time too. Will other garages follow suit?

It does look nice, however i feel that NX should have placed the new fleetnames on their buses back shortly after the name change, after all, Central Connect became Blue Diamond almost over night.
