WN 4543 back from repaint/refurb in service on the 256/7 today. matt has a picture which he will upload to flickr at some point

Came back 2 weeks ago mate, it has been in for MOT prep.

[Tony]

4499 and 4734 are now in for refurb

So they are starting to repaint/refurb the WA toothpaste Enviros? Will they start to repaint 4125-38 batch that haven't been done so far

See Simon's comments in the 'ask Simon' topic, he said yes, but these 5 take priority at Walsall

Thanks. Really i should rephrase it as seen 'back in service' ;) Are anymore of the 126 branded ones planning to go in for repaint? Seems the 126 branding is slowley being phased out with 4576 and 4577 recently back.

All of 4535-53 are all in NXWM livery now.

Still 31 WN tridents (4535-4609 batch) still in TWM livery

That is 4554/5/7/8/9/60/1/2/4/6/7/9/70/1/2/3/5/9/80/1/2/3/7/8/9/90/2/4/5/6/4606. (From my current knowledge

Thanks Tony ;) Will look there now. Just thought they would start to repaint the earlier tridents now the B7RLE's are finished

The 5 ex PB Enviros need sorting out. The interiors are far worse than any of Walsall's own 400s, but they work the same services including the new 936 which needs to attract new passengers so should be attractive. They are also less reliable, I don't know if 4734 actually managed to get on the road before going in for refurb and as mentioned on another thread 4735 was on the back of a tow truck this evening

Ive spotted and been on the 5 toothpaste Enviros at WA, got a photo of 4734 on the 935, they arent in great condition. Most of the WA tridents hasve had recent interior attention anyway, 4127 and 4137 have had most of their seats redone in their original style moquette

Yes noticed on a lot of vehicles that the seat covers have been replaced but still in the old style Twin peaks moquette. Watched my video of 4736 on the 89 and noticed that the seats seemed a bit worn down.


I've also wondered if the E400's on the 50 At YW will get some attention at some point as the seats seem in a similar condition

[nitromatt1]

Also 4607 and 4608 from WN

Explains why I haven't seen either in ages

Theyre absolutely fine. The enviros on the 50 will not have had the pounding that the sutton lines buses will have had on the express way. instead they will just have dawdled along the 50 and sat in traffic most of the time. The 50 is on a very slow timetable whereas the PB ones will have been absolutely thrashed. I went on a YW enviro on the 50 a couple of saturdays back when it was really hot and very impressed by the condition of the seats upstairs and lots of opening windows and film on windows meaning the bus wasnt too hot. The 50 doesnt seem to have the problems it used to and to be honest at the moment anyway the buses on the 50 are mostly empty

[Ashley 4569]

Empty buses on the 50? Must be joking. The buses are in better nick than the sutton lines ones, less vandalism, seats arent too bad and the route has little trouble these days if any, i feel safer on there than i do on some WN routes

Ok sorry matt read it wrong

Not joking-went on it last monday and most buses with less than 10 people on...
