[Tony]

4747
4751

4800
4806
4812

Are all in for repaint into Crimson, so could be any of these. Maybe 4812 as I believe that was the first one to go into the paintshop

4738 is also in, 4739 & 4740 will be in by the weekend.

4751 will be the first painted

[Liberator9]

Only rode 4739 today, and 4740 Wednesday and Tuesday - looking forward to seeing them in their new colours - assume the deliveries of the three MMCs today will mean they'll be off tomorrow from YW.

I was gonna say, it's been in for a while

As Tony has stated in the past ADL bodied buses take a lot longer to refurb because the glazing has to come out before any repaneling can take place, where as the with WRIGHTBUS you don't quick and easy panel replacement using fasteners, even the long panel under the windows is only pop riveted hidden by the rubber strip clever eh. I do take my hat off to WRIGHTBUS clever engineering/design.

The MMCs have these new easy-release windows. Perhaps they'll be quicker to refurbish.

So has PN 4806 now a PB bus?

[Liberator9]

PN 4806 is now a PB bus I think.
