That will be 4168 straight threw to 4224

When 4199 and 4222 are back at their garages

The fleet lists are lookin very red now
How many in total left for refurb repaint
Then
How many from each garage left
Can't be many more then 100 or so now


143 I've counted I've taken off the ones that I no are in paint shop
There is more in there
Plus there are sum that go off some where else for repaint refurb
So there could be 10-15 more

There's 26 Mercedes still to be done but is it worth tarting them up if they are gunna
Be withdrawn soon
With the NEW bus deliveries this year that are expected
The Mercedes possibly extinct by 2015 and the 500&600

Is there any more of 4023- 4115 gunna join 4116-4124 up north in Dundee

I would expect so as we still have 6 B10Ls to withdraw, even though the plan was to get rid of them by October 2013.

The numbers depend on what you're counting, i.e. there are around 180 ish buses still in TWM livery, but there are more than that if you're counting the number of buses which are yet to be refurbished. I.e there are a fair number of early NX liveried buses that never received retrims, mainly those with the full connector bars on, mainly those repainted late 2007 & during 2008

The Mercedes are gunna be withdrawn when the new bus arrivals start
With the buses that are in paint shop there is probably less then 130
So by the end of 2014 the rate there completing the refurbed repaints it might be 100% nxwm livery

Stuharris 6360

It's a shame they have decided to do 4199, always liked that one in TWM livery.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I've always liked that one as well

I would have thought Pensnett would have left that one till last, because it was the smartest TWM Trident there (due to having a TWM livery repaint a few years back). All of the 43** in TWM livery have not had a repaint yet

Trident 4609

It had a pretty smart exterior considering it was in TWM livery but my go the etching on the upstairs windows are awful! Let's hope they replace those windows or put new film on

Also if 4114 has to move to Dundee its 5 Branding is going to have to be removed first

I too saw 4296 back last week on the 74 in the City Centre looking very smart - 4272 back soon no doubt

Liverpool Street

So not long before the new livery comes out then.. Lol ;)

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
