Hi all, am I right in thinking that Acocks Green is the only Nx garage to have 100% of its fleet in the 'new' red and white livery, with no TWM liveried buses?
All the others still have a way to go...

Bordesley still have around 29 x Omnilinks (after those currently in refurb return) which is 58% per cent still in TWM livery based of its allocation of 50

Pensnett have 3 x Mercs & 6 x Tridents (after 4351 returns from refurb) which is just over 7.5% per cent still in TWM livery based of its allocation of 118

Yeah I posted this a while ago, they are also one of the first (after BY) to abolish Paper Blinds.

craighu

Good point Trident 4370 re the paper blinds...once the Mercs, Volvo B6/B10 and the last Optare Solos are gone, no more roller blind buses will be left. End of an era.

I can imagine Perry Barr are not far from completion.

I have -

  • 5 OmniLinks (1838, 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843)
  • 5 OmniCitys (4697, 4777, 4778, 4779, 4781)
  • 8 B7TLs (4241, 4242, 4244, 4246, 4258, 4262, 4276, 4281)

Still in TWM livery (I have not counted 4284, and 4698 currently in for repaint)

The New Enviro400s have helped drastically reduce the number of buses in TWM livery there.

How far is Wolverhampton from being fully NXWM livery? All their B7RLEs, Hybrids & Spectras are in NXWM livery. I would imagine West Bromwiich is quite far away with Mercs, Darts, B6s and ALXs still in TWM livery

No worries rob ;) WN are getting through WN's trident repaints at a rapid pace however WN will still have 12X Mercs in TWM livery still which I can see being replaced by new buses or cascaded tridents depending on this years deliveries so there is is still a bit to go before the TWM livery is abolished from Park Lane Garage :)

Just wish BC would send 4152/4157/4167 for repaint and get rid of the 14 branding ;)
