WN 4577 is back out freshly repainted/refurbished

[Gareth]

Saw freshly reprinted 1800 on the 17 earlier. It has had a full seat retrim, as enquired yesterday.

It also has the white fleet name above the door rather than the usual red, blue and grey one in the middle.

Cheers Gareth, that was me enquiring about a retrim

Starting to think with the E200s, the latest batch of B7RLEs (minus 2154) and now the Ex-Coventry Scanias that the white name above the door is becoming standard. I do hope so, looks much better there imo.

Just went to post that. On the 59 today. Possible new 126 branding?

I would think that if there was to be new 126 branding, different Tridents might be used to even out the mileage on the others (the same reason for the 44** 900 branded Tridents).

New branding would be nice, but its a shame that the last route with the coloured circle branding is disappearing

I like to see branding, but the problem is that it does restrict buses to certain routes, and if they are long distant routes, the miles start to quickly add up

Probably a daft suggestion, but its a pity they couldn't put some sort of electronic display on the buses which could then show multiple route brandings and then virtually any route could be branded.

Strangley enough i had the exact idea stu! :)

Am I the only one that wishes they'd put that tiny little bit more effort in when re-painting the Omnilinks and actually left the silver trim at the front silver rather than just plaster the entire thing with red paint?

I agree they look cheap and nasty

[The Real 4778]

Remember when certain management, in its fit of petulance, decreed that some unwanted S C A N I A labels should all be scraped off the same silver panel...  I often wondered who ended up doing it and how much it cost.

Did they think punters would be confused and imagine it was the name of a new operator?

Or were they ashamed of showing they had bought cheap nasty buses made in Poland

[The Real 4778]

LOL!

I doubt anyone other than the bus-savvy and those inside the industry would make the Polish connection; I doubt whether your average John or Jane Doe would even know Scania's Swedish, to be honest.

Hahaha!!

Does anyone think management sit down and think; 'Well that was a bad idea..'

Yes, just look how good 1833 looks
