How come PE buses seem to take longer than buses from other garages?

They don't take any longer!

Wrights vehicles are quicker because the panels are just bolted on so quick to replace. The Wrights vehicles currently being done are also a bit newer than the Alexanders

[uniquicity]

4511 has the grey seats if anyone was wondering

[Trident 4609]

I think it was only WN, WA and YW Tridents that were sent for repaint at end of last year that were not retrimmed. AG Gemini's also being repainted at the time were still receiving retrims.

[Tony]

YW 4394 has joined 4392 & 4395 at Trailways for retrim/repaint

WA 4737 is now in the paintshop

WA 4329 is now finished and back in Walsall garage

With the number of AG Geminis in the paint shop, could these be the vehicles that will receive 11 branding? Then with all the new deliveries during the year, the Presidents would be shifted around and/or start to be withdrawn?

[The Fox 4846]

Is 4737 having a re trim?

[Tony]

The end has finally happened!

4432 is now at Walsall for repaint with 4472 freshly repainted/retrimmed back at BC

The final end for TWM liveried buses in service

Did 4472 lost its 97 branding?

It obviously has initially, I don't know whether it will regain it. 4471 did

So what happens now Tony in the context of the new livery? Has it been confirmed that the new livery will only appear on new vehicle deliveries? If so do we assume that the paint shop will continue to repaint and turn out existing vehicles in the now 'old' standard livery?

[Stevo]

I'd very much like to know the answer to this too.

All I know is the vehicles currently entering the paint shop are being painted in the current livery

[RW]

Thanks Tony. Hopefully once the new livery has started appearing in public on new deliveries repaints of all vehicles will be based on the new livery. If NX felt the need to change the livery can't see why they would continue to turn out vehicles in the former livery. What would be the point?
