1867 at this very moment is just leaving Walsall back to PB in Crimson

How many Scania's are being done in the Coventry Livery if any at all @Tony please.

How many more PB Scania's are going in for repaint crimson & will this include the ex Dundee examples

Exactly why would any Scanias be done in the Coventry livery? There aren't any there and I doubt there's any due to move there.

I'm assuming 1863-1877 will all be done certainly - assume maybe the 7XXXs there may do as well - would make sense to have them all in crimson.

Just a query really @Liberator9 not saying they should be put in CV livery but could do maybe to replace the remaining CV Mercedes as a batch of Scania's 58 plates were new to CV in 08/09 anyway.

I expect the movement of some of these E400s that have been painted up in CV livery will "displace" some buses at CV on one or two particular routes, releasing some buses at CV to replace the last few Mercs there.

4763 & 4764 'may' enter service at Coventry on Monday

How many more E400's are planned CV repaints Tony if you are able to say of course?

I think it's been reported that 4771 is already being repainted so an educated guess would indicate at least the ones in between would be done.

A query I had was what seat trim colour these have - is it as per the Crimson livery or something different?

764 has had a complete offside re-panel due to it being involved in an accident. Also the reason why we have had 751 on loan from West Brom

I only saw the near side, that would explain it! Also 4742 with do not move sticker

@Tony

Great photos of 1867 and 1871 you've taken - 1867 and 1871 look excellent
