4164 is another bus where advert removal has taken the paint with it.

It is currently at Trailways having a quick body tidy up before a repaint in red/white

Removal of the advert from 4631 has taken most of the paint with it, so this will be the first of that batch in Crimson, already in Walsall being done

I know in previous cases where a bus needs repainting due to advert removal the ad agency would pay the bill. What happens in a case like this where the bus would have been due for repaint and refurb anyway, but is now being done earlier than expected?

So you're happy to ask for information on here, but this quote from you elsewhere seems to indicate you don't like what I post?

@Tony Could you shed any light on what's happening with the XD repaints? the word is they were suspended just before xmas because our 2 tone green was too dark at night.

While I'm here, curiosity has gotten the better of me, given how badly the red paint faded on the old NX livery, has a new formula of paint been found that will prevent this happening to the new livery on WM buses or should we look forward to seeing faded 2 tone pink in a few years? :)

The red hasn't faded for a couple of years

Just seen repainted 4468 on bc97 looking immaculate.  Couldn't help laughing to myself when a liitle kid about 5 shouted "Look mom, a harley bus!" as it came into view. Spotted in chelmsley wood heading for the city by the way.

First three repaints of 2016 are 4468; 4641 & 7032

Currently in paint are
AG-     4532, 4648, 4528, 4642
BC    4449, 4464, 4631,4164
PB     7030, 7033, 4818, 4825, 4819
WB    1946, 1948, 1950
WA  4105

4105 & 4164 are 'quicky repaints' in red & white due to poor condition of existing paint

Busman Jamie

That explains why ive not seen 4105 then

4105, 4164 must be in good condition mecanically and chassis wise to warrant a repaint

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
