Will the PB Ominicitys get repainted at some point?

Well they will be eventually but there's no plan for them to be repainted at the moment. There are other buses in need of repaints much more.

I actually disagree with that because the OmniCitys look incomplete with no logos and grey stripes on the livery. Yes the bodywork is in better nick, but they do need to be completed, with with repaints or at least putting logos on them. Pensnett have had buses  that are 18 months newer repainted that were already in NXWM livery. OmniLinks the same age are starting to get repainted, so why not the OmniCitys as well.

4515 has been done, out in service today.

I like the ominicitys in the NX livery, I couldnt image them in red & white nor 4697 :(

You mean 'toothpaste', the 'last' of the TWM liveries.

Didn't think they were in Toothpaste livery like say earlier E400's

I call it incomplete toothpaste livery, as it is in the same base livery, the Omnicitys and some Perry Barr and Bordesley OmniLinks have not had the silver stripes applied to the blue stripe. If you took the grey stripes of a toothpaste Enviro, the livery would be exactly the same

Kevin

Only the one of the Omnicitys is in toothpaste isn't it? Thought the rest were in TWM livery
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

The omnicities are as John says above in an unfinished toothpaste livery. By the time they entered service in Feb/March 2008, the livery was obsolete and the silver stripes were not added.

Yes, the older one, 4697 is in proper Toothpaste livery. The rest as both I and Gareth have said are incomplete Toothpaste livery

Yeah I just looked at their pages on the main site.... even caught one today and didn't pay attention. Probably because it's unfinished it made it look more like the TWM livery to me
