Repaints / retrims 2015

They probably will. But it can't be done overnight. Remember it took 6-7 years to repaint the fleet last time.

Don't forget that there wasn't the number of new buses entering the fleet during that period compared to what there is now

[JoNi]

What is NX's timescale for repainting vehicles, has it got one?

Two things to remember here.

NXWM don't just repaint buses like some operators. They get extensive repanneling and all buses going into crimson will get interiors to match.
The paint shop can cope with a maximum of 17 vehicles at a time, otherwise vehicles just end up parked outside doing nothing

[JoNi]

Thanks Tony.

There used to be 3 in at a time at WN, when the paintshop is going at it full tilt dependant on the amount of damage they were knocking the tridents out in around 6 weeks.

Garage allowances have changed completely for the next 6 months.

Alexander Dennis buses take a lot longer to be done than Scania or WQrights

4369 & 4445 should now be looking different like I promised. I have it confirmed 4369 is, but that is currently in YW garage after doing an 18 morning board. 4445 is on the Pershore Road if anyone sees it to know if it has been done yet

4369 passed me on the 3 on Stratford Road while I was waiting for my 37 home, so it got into service this afternoon.

They had done both sides by 12.30pm so would have finished around then. Is the advert on the rear as well?

Only saw the side to be honest, as the bus passed the stop.
