That's looks very good. Hopefully I can find it somewhere on the Sutton Lines tomorrow

Looks strange seeing it in new livery, great repaint though. I can't wait until a 57 reg is repainted, just to see what it looks like

4730 is a 57 reg ;) Personal opinion but I don't like the idea of the Toothpaste Enviros being repainted, they just look like any other NX enviro now, before they were a unique batch :(

Sorry. I meant 07 reg  :), the ones with the oval rear top window. They look better than the 57s in my opinion. A bit off topic, but I'm glad all the Gems are in NXWM livery, I personally thought they looked horrid in TWM livery

Ahhh yes the 07s, I agree I think they look better too ;) The ticket machines have always fascinated me too, I wonder if when they're refurbished the ticket printers will be moved to the standard place.

One remaining in TWM livery, 4495. Maybe not for long though

Has anyone seen 4495 recently?

It would be nice if they did 4487 as well to complete the batch

Are the ticket machines the only internal difference between the 57 & 07 reg examples? A bit of an odd place for a ticket machine, but I'm sure it doesn't cause any inconvenience :)

[trident4370]

They have a few minor differences, the windows are clear glass rather than tints, and the seating layout is slightly different downstairs. I don't think it causes an inconvenience but if it was something NX wanted to change what better time than when the bus is off road being refurbed :P

4487 is in NXWM livery Winston, isn't it?

Yes, but it does look a state now, especially compared to the others at Perry Barr

Minor point but one that really bugs me is how the destination surrounds are done in body colour rather than black on these repaints. I know they were white to begin with on the toothpaste Enviros but still. And don't get me started on 2142 and 4709...
