How is it a waste of money?

4131 in the new training livery

I like it; though my first thought, naturally, is that it looks unfinished. lol

I thought the same ! I was thinking, since when were these going crimson.

It does look good however.

[BusFan94]

I guess it will have the logos painted on.
Does it still have the Staircase in it or has it been removed like the Metrobuses

Ah so the training fleet needs repainting yet there are red and white tridents operating in Coventry. Once again the logic of nx hierarchy is insane

[andyr]

As a new addition to the training fleet a repaint makes perfect seance. Why paint something that will soon be withdrawn ?

@Trident 4194 These buses in Coventry are in resvere fleet NX Hierarchy is not insane they have not repainted them for a reason
As Andy said the buses will be soon withdrawn that would be a waste of money you don't want to spend a £1000+ on a bus repaint for it to be withdrawn and Scrapped

I think 4131 looks smart I think 4520 and 4697 would look smart as well

[dingding]

Its also a good advertisement to any prospective new drivers.

[Squiz1971]

4131 looks brill in the double deck training fleet livery. just needs the NX transfers to make her complete. As Busfan94 has said 4520, 4697 & any other Double decker or even single decker will look good in this modified livery for the training fleet.

Yes it is @dingding

Its also a good advertisement to any prospective new drivers.

I think Trident4194 thinks it would have attracted more recruits if it was left in tatty red/white with a few unpainted silver panels.

Smart - looks reminiscent of a variation of the previous Lothian livery with the mix of white, dark red and gold.

It will probably get crashed anyway. As for attracting recruits I doubt many people who have other job opportunities would see a new repainted training bus and think oh yes I want to drive for nx

[Westy]

That would have made a good standard livery.

If you didn't have Platinum already, it would have worked for buses on limited stop duties.
