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.

Haha - yeah AG aren't great at vehicle patch ups - YW are better at doing them I find; YW now have the vivid red shades of paint  which they use for repairs.(ever in Brum look out for 1911,1922,1923. Although on 1923 they've repainted the whole lower front in the newer red which looks smart, and kept the silver lights. Really highlights how the old 2010 paint has faded on them though when looking at their sides in comparison to the front. Shame NX didn't adopt the better quality, vivid red earlier when they first started repaints in 2009.

4266 fresh from paint shop the red used on front front of this bus seemed brighter than normal, the masking up on the window rubbers half arsed so much overspray every where, even masking tape left on here and there, seems like certain amount of rush job on this vehicle.

LS it,ll do only a ALX 400 Volvo no doubt it will spend its twilight years trotting around Walsalls side routes.

Not sure if anybody else has noticed but 4374 still has 2002 No Smoking stickers on upper deck windows. 4665 may still have one on a lower deck window.

Saw this on my way home this evening. Quite striking on an E400 I thought. Just my opinion but I think it suits it very well. Wonder if they'll do the B7RLES? I enjoy driving those (love the power) it'll be nice seeing them looking smart!

I have a suspicion that they'll do anything from 2007 onwards as a priority, though I may be wrong - but i'd like to see the Omnillinks and B7s also...
