Repaints / retrims 2015

[Ronnoc]

The bright red is starting to fade away on the 2012 repaints on ALX400s.

Which ones?

I forgot some but 4391 shows just a bit of signs.

To be honest I have not seen any of the new style red buses having faded paintwork, 4391 included. Looking at this picture on flickr from this month someone has taken, the red seems in pretty good condition to me.

Nice picture of it - quite like some of your shots of the Scanias on your album  :)

4389 back out on the 3, unrefurbished...

[Liberator9]

What is the point in repainting the Tridents but not doing the interior - would rather have the new seating than the new paint!

[trident4370]

Presumably money saving, looks awful though, my seat was threadbare around the edges.

[Liberator9]

Weird though how the other bus types that have been refurbished - the Geminis and Scanias - have had the new seat covers fitted.

Was it sent in before the end of last year? It appears WN, YW and WA Tridents sent for repaint at the end of last year were not refurbed.

I presume that they have resumed with refurbs on Tridents with 4324 being one of them?

[Ronnoc]

I guess they just paint the Tridents at Walsall then time later they put new seating in.
