Tony, any idea why 1642 is at WA, for a repaint?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Presumably all remaining TWM-livery Mercs will be imminently withdrawn when the Trident & B7RLE cascades arrive, so rather than repainting them, the NXWM-livery Mercs in the worst exterior condition are receiving attention instead

Westy

Would the withdrawn Mercs be stripped for spares or flogged as 'runners'

Sh4318

I would think the Mercs that are getting repaints are the Mercs that won't be withdrawn until all Mercs are withdrawn?
Class 153, 155 and 156. The Super Sprinters
"Around the corner" routes: 21, 89
Local routes: 12/A, 48/A
Semi-local routes: 54, 80, 87

Most used routes in bold

1642 has the grey dot seats so not surprised it's getting a repaint, I expect it to be one of the last Mercs standing

When did they get done?

Ages ago, I remember riding it in February-ish with the dot seats

It hasn't, it was one of the earlier Merc refubs and has the darker blue moquette (see video clip below)


1641 & 1643 both have grey dot moquette
