Is 4613 back in service?

Also, 4404 (CV) seems to have been in for a long time - is it getting more than the usual treatment?

when 4346 return to PN

When it's finished

when 4346 return to PN

When it's finished

I think that is a fair question, its been gone for well over a month. Unless its having some pretty major work done, it shouldn't take that long to paint!!

Regardless of what work it's having done, it will be back once completed.

4404 in service yesterday afternoon in Cov

It wasn't! It didn't leave Walsall until 8:26 last night, arrived at Coventry at 21:16. Not out today either

A question Tony which you may already have answered somewhere. If so apologies. Has NX yet decided its policy for future repaints of existing vehicles in the fleet after the new standard livery has made its on road debut in the West Mids? Thinking about it if it's to be new deliveries only that would mean that potentially in the case of 64 plate vehicles, for example, they could be repainted 2/3 times into the 'old' livery over a vehicle life of say 10 to 15 years. In that case we could at the most extreme still be seeing vehicles in the old red and white until somewhere around 2030! Surely NX will not go down that route. Will they?

4424 must be for an internal refurb? - I'm sure it was repainted circa 2013.

Looking at my picture, 4424 already has the grey NX moquette

Has AG's 2120 had a repaint since new?

Yes, it was done for Bus Driver of the Year sometine last year
