Are all Walsall's B7LRE's going in for crimson repaint over the next few weeks, or is it just the 301/302 branded ones?

7025 was back in garage today

Replaced at Walsall by 7028, so only two red/white Scanias at PB now, 1906 & 7019

[Westy]

Presume it will be some years before the first garage will be totally crimsoned?

I wouldn't go that far, BY could be done in quick fashion given its size although I from what I can tell, vehicles going into the paint shop have somewhat slowed down ?

Yes, when BY's Omnilinks start to get repainted/trimmed they could be dealt with quite quickly - however, to contradict your other comment, NXWM still seem to be on target for 200+ per year repaints/retrims (a handful of which are trainers or urgent tidying up of red/white buses) - bearing in mind new buses will be delivered in the latest livery, and resulting withdrawals reduce the amount of red/white buses, that appears to suggest the whole fleet would be in new livery over a five year time span - as we are just over one year into the programme, the end date would be early 2020 - but this is presuming it runs at the current rate.

AG already has over 80 buses in crimson so is in the lead, numerically and as a proportion of its allocation. Apart from Coventry, around 20% of the fleet is in new livery.

AG was the first in complete red & white wasnt it?
