I bet 4596 will arrive back with its original trim though like the last few repaints at WN!

Strange because all of Coventry's have come back re-trimmed.

And if I would have put a real bet on I would have won! It made it onto the 59 yesterday still with its original TWM spec trim

4324 is getting a retrim

[Liberator9]

That's odd how they've done that - they did the same thing with 4370 at YW. But they've retrimmed the Geminis that have been refurbished recently and the PB Scanias that had the leather I assume will have as well. I don't know about 1918 - yet to go on it since its repairs.

the last few tridents "refurbed" from wn have come back without the retrim, and its a shame as they look dire compared to others that have been done. why leave some out?

The only buses missed are Tridents from WA, WN & YW admitted at the end of last year

But why though? NXWM were previously being so thorough in the repaints and refurbs?

Maybe they ran out of fabric to do the seats with.

[Liberator9]

Can't be - Geminis have been in after them and come back out with the new fabric. Desire to get them back out asap?

[wilmotm (Matt Wilmot)]

Maybe, especially with quite a few  buses of the road around the garages, but guarantee they won't be done when more spare buses become available!
