Vehicles in service in TWM Livery

[Tony]

Two more to take off the list
BC 4153 & 4316 are both now at Walsall for repaint with 4152 back at BC finished

1819 is back at Bordesley, from keltruck in service in toothpaste

1819 is out on the 55/A today and I only seen 4153 yesterday

1825 is also on the 55 today repainted. It only did one and a half days when it first arrived back before being sent to Carlyle for repairs

[B.C Driver]

So just 4157 flying the flag for the 14 branding now.

I wonder what the very last bus will be in TWM livery?

4409 or 4416 no doubt, Coventry seem to get the least attention/upgrades

[Sh4318]

@Bham Central Driver one of the ALX 200 darts maybe?

4356 not in for refurb. In service in Merry Hill this evening. Didn't look what route.

[Trident 4609]

4356 not in for refurb. In service in Merry Hill this evening. Didn't look what route.

Forgot to mention i saw it still in TWM livery on the 246 on Saturday

4626 is another off the list, now at Trailways for refurbishment

Presumably 4356 will go to WB when 4199 is completed.

I noticed 4200 could do with being at the front of the queue for a refurb once the remaining TWM liveried PE ones are completed. The upstairs windows are badly etched & I think has graffiti. Some replacement window film might help in the interim.

4309 has now gone to Trailways for refurb so I make that 113 buses still in service in TWM livery 83 to paint and 30 to withdraw

Missed out 4615 @Tony :)

Cheers Rob, I have just ammended the list in my original post for people who haven't read it yet

[Tony]

List revised again. It has just been pointed out to me that the reason I had missed 4615 was because I still had 4626 in the list, so back down to 84. Now 4613 has arrived at Carlyle that can come out the main list and into the 'being done' part.

4177 will also be painted when the Morrisons advert comes off, so although not in TWM livery it is one more not in fleet livery to be done

[Westy]

So all Walsall single deckers are repainted then!

Any chance of slapping a new off side fleet name vinyl on 1885 then?

Fed up of seeing 'Express West Midlands'!

[Gareth]

If and when the whole fleet is in one livery will this be the first time that all buses in the West Midlands are in one livery variation?
Although by 1984, before the Tracline65 Metrobuses, all buses were blue and cream, there were a few different livery layouts depending on vehicle type.
And as I'm typing this I've just remembered that NX also have blue and green fronted buses. Guess we will have to wait a bit longer for a fully unified fleet.
