Yes - but will it get the new-style livery? If it does we could presume that all vehicles except the Presidents will be candidates for new liveries.

Probably not, may want 4421 to 'fit in' with its batch.

4452 is going same way as 4421 even sky blue paint peeling off on nearside to expose red underneath as well!

4421 update every panel on the driver side is now off , I've seen hundreds of refurbs over the years excluding accident repairs this is quite extensive , I haven't seen  double decker in recent times being stripped to this level , usually the panels behind the adverts are just filled and sanded back if there's damage from muppets throwing objects at them.

If it really is getting this much attention, it might get repainted in to Coventry's new livery.

Could well be , it,ll be one the best in terms of bodywork straight panels no distortions from filler repairs or outlines from previous liveries. Should be as new externally all most.

Since my last full list just over 2 weeks ago - Geminis are quick to do!

Fair enough, just a surprise that's all :)

Maybe I'm just being picky again, but I had my first ride on 4529 today on the 31 this morning (since repaint/refurb), and while it does look great on the outside in the new crimson livery, and the seats have been retrimmed with the new moquette (which doesn't actually look too bad on the older blue plastic seats), I can't help but feel that the rest of the interior still leaves a lot to be desired, with the floors and other interior plastics still looking tatty, dirty, marked or otherwise worn.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
