trident 4128

And 45xx Geminis which need doing before 47xx

Yes 4527-34 need doing, but there are reasons for the current schedule.

Just seen a picture of Coventry garages heritage liveried ALX400 it looks very good I say.
Let's bring one back for each garage, I have fond memories of 3088 at hockley in Brum city corp livery, it was always clean got special treatment from certain drivers that took it to various shows.

Let's bombard nxwm with emails for heritage livery buses.
Mind you I can't picture a west brom corp livery

so the two-tone maroon/crimson is now been applied to older buses, will the green buses have a special two tone livery

Would I be correct in thinking only Enviro's are being repainted into the new livery?

What about the B7 Eclipse single deckers  & Gemini double deckers, as surely they would last longer than the Tridents currently in service?

(I'm assuming the Presidents, along with other older vehicles, wouldn't be repainted, as they wouldn't be in service in the next 5 years? How long do they expect the Tridents to remain in service?)

I can see Tridents still in service in the next 5 years but I was under the assumption all buses will be repainted into the livery although taking into account buses which could potentially be withdrawn soon makes it somewhat difficult to predict what will get repainted quick, fair to say the Enviros are the main priority for now.

I can remember in the late 1980's the MCW metrobuses were being repainted into the then new "Silver/Grey" livery, fleetlines were still being repainted cream/blue, it wasn't until the early 1990's that fleetlines were painted in "Silver/Grey". So if the older Tridents/Volvo AX's are to become "Crimson" you may have a long wait !!!
