Will YW's handful of red and white 47xx get a quick repaint or are they deemed too old? Some of them look really shabby and battered.

Tony said only E400 below 4880 that are blue were being repainted

* getting a internal refurb.

But judging from the fact the first nxwm red&white to be refurbished is 4940, may be a sign anything crimson e400 (painted and refurbed in 2018,19) will be least priority. And 4941-4981 will be done after cov blue. Then mmcs

You've got to consider vehicle age, how long batch long has had/ been without refurb.

I'd say e400 painted in 2015 wouldn't be worth bothering unless it is that bad

Yes, I was aware of that but messy crimson 4762 is being repainted after an all over ad was removed and repaints will be cheaper using one shade of grey. Older vehicles may be in service longer than was thought given the delays in rolling out electrics. Hence my question.

I doubt any E400S will get painted now other than the ex Coventry ones with the amount of new vehicles coming in apart from anything that looks rough or had adverts removed IE 4908/13/46

Apparently NX won't be buying any new electric single deck vehicles is this true?

[BNH2004]

Apparently NX won't be buying any electric new single deck vehicles how true is that?

Doubt that's true as what's going to go on routes that can't have double decker on

I heard they were all going to be coloured in pink and yellow polka dots, so surely that's going to happen.

My understanding was that only vehicles expected to still be in service for another five years (from 2023) would get the grey repaint.

That takes us up to 2028. NX have set themselves a target of having a 100% zero emission fleet by 2030.

With the Eclipse 2 B7RLEs getting the grey treatment, that tells me the single decks will be the last to be replaced.

The earliest E400s won't last until 2028 I would imagine, though they've still got another few years left in them.
