Repaints / retrims 2015

[Tony]

When will the rest of 4763-4775 be painted into Coventry livery?

a) who says all of those are going to Coventry (They're not)
b) the ones that are going will be painted when they transfer to Coventry

Will WA be keeping any?

Food for thought?? On standard NXC spec repaints, mould the red grey and darker grey seat pattern be replaced with a blue on grey, I know it's off the wall and would be a nightmare on transfers but would complement the outside livery of the bus simular to crimson spec.

Will the hybrids get repaint if so will it be green ?!

Personally I would paint them in Crimson, there is no need to make them stand out.

Agreed, possibly make the gold thing a decent shade of green, something glossy maybe.

Or why not Crimson with leaves or something like Rotalas hybrids. I have to say Rotalas coloured discs in a circle works well. Maybe if NX went with the leaves it might work. As for the cream/gold band going green, nah I think it could confuse folk with the 9, if the 9 wasn't green branded then yeah. But a standard livery with some hint that they are hybrids may work, although the route branding my need a wee bit of a rethink.....
Failing that a British racing green livery might work, with the leaves. But I am sure NX will have an idea already of what they want hybrids to look like in the west kids and Dundee.

4802 back in garage

And into service for the first time today

[The Real 4778]

That looks excellent. You can almost see the bright red as an evolutionary link with the old scheme.
Can't wait to see more of these entering service.

There's another 47xx enviro just parked outside paint shop this evening, 4747 rings a bell?

4747 is out in service repainted into Crimson

[Tony]

It was 4739 now back at WB. 4745 replaces it at Walsall. An out of turn repaint being done is the very tatty YW 4335, no not Crimson before anyone asks

[Liberator9]

Good to hear - any chance 4370 can have a quick trip to have its trim done as well as still the old threadbare TWM trim.
