4606 is next as its Vodafone wrapped. That will replace 4567 when it comes back.

Then my eye is on 126 branded vehicles

Can I ask, why is 4567 going before the 126-branded ones?

Could ask the same question about all the other tridents. 4567 was in need of repaint/refurb and was looking a bit tired. Is 4569 in for repaint as i haven't seen it for weeks?

No I saw that last night on the 126.

Thanks :) Wasn't even aware 4567 had gone for paint! Saw 4606 parked up at the front of the garage this lunchtime. Any idea why? Awaiting to go to Walsall Paintshop.

Are there any plans to replace the TWM logos with the white NXWM ones like BC have applied to their tridents?

Not as far as I know.

3 repaints in from WN at all times so 4608, 4607 and 4567 in. When 4567 comes back it gets swapped for 4606. Then just keep replacing 1 at a time.

BN said that 4606 will replace 4567 implying that 4567 should be the next one back

Yes i know Matt! I am not stupid you know! Just Wondering as 4606 was parked up in the garage so i was wondering if 4567 will be back within the next few days?

You sure about that Matt, have you seen 4197. If that is a finished refurbishment, i am stunned. To me it just looked like a paint job and new seat covers.  :)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

That's what a refurb is in NXWM's eyes  ;)

Although we call them refurb's that is generally all they amount too, a light internal refurbishment i.e. retrimmed

So why was 4609 given an extensive refurbishment? Poles repainted and brand new seats fitted

Wasn't it refurbed after being damaged? Perhaps due to its damage, it was refurbed by someone else, who did a more comprehensive job

That level of internal work is few & far between

Was about to say Nathan that yesterday i travelled on the 49 in Birmingham and it was a President. It had obviously been repainted and the inside was beautifully clean and tidy. Thats what i call a refurbishment.
