Am i missing something, didn't think WB did refurbs? Wonder what has been done, just refubed seat cushions or is it more extensive?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

WB Have done refurbs on a number of occasions i.e re-paneling, presume re-glazing where required, it just leaves WA to then paint it. I think one of WN's recent Trident refurbs was done there before 4352

I saw either 4311/12 in West Brom getting a refurb when I was in there while training

West Bromwich permanently have one bus for refurb, some of YWs tridents were also done there. Don't know which one is next there

The paintshop are flying through the BY Omnilinks lately, I make it 12 left to be done i.e. 1815/6, 1818-1821, 1826, 1828, 1831, 1834/5, with 1814 in for refurb & no doubt one of the list remaining now gone in in place of 1825.

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.
