1608 seemingly featured rear fleet numbers from the Metrobus era, there are presumably one or two other buses with old style fleet numbers in service.

4241 was still out this morning. Saw it heading back to garage from City around half 12 this afternoon

It was broken down on Chester Rd opposite Jaguar this afternoon at half 1 causing chaos and making me late for work so that may be its last throw of the dice before the paintshop...

4362 really needs a paint now, it looks tatty. One bit of the bumper on the front is red whilst the red follows the TWM livery, the seats are getting worn out and the inside condition doesn't seem very good. My guess is that 4389 will be the last to be refurbed out of YWs TWM livery buses, the condition is almost excellent.

4379 now has an ad for a movie so depending on how long that will be up, it could be the last one although I said that about 4370 and look what happened!

4241 still around on the 65s today

As mentioned in NX Coventry Unusual workings 1548 appeared on the 21 today!!

Are there any plans to swap 1677 (WN) or 1684 & 1686 (Reserve WN) with 1668 @ PN or any others which haven't been re-trimmed? I.e. 1607, 1695 or 1698 at WB

[John]

4241 has now arrived at Walsall

Hopefully we will get some of the early NX repainted done after 4241 comes back

Those that went un-retrimmed last time round with connector bars & new deliveries that arrived during 2007 could really do with being top priority next i.e. 4738 onwards

I agree fully with that - the "un-retrimmed" Geminis and Tridents certainly need attention. Externally and internally, some of them are looking very scruffy.
