Repaints & Retrims 2016

[Tony]

Not arguing but surely it should be how scruffy a batch looks?

But they're not scruffy yet either, compared to the buses that are being painted

[Squiz1971]

Any idea what Walsall buses will get repainted next after the B7Lres are done?

Wouldve thought its a toss up between the early Walsall Scanias, including the 4 branded ones & the e200s as theres only 10 of those, I believe!

Or the 61 plate 51 branded E400 (E40D) plus 4870 as well as the 57 plate Scania's would be next @Westy

The Walsall Scanias I would say have far greater priority than the E200s - some of those Scanias looking quite jaded and scruffy now.

Said it before, but the refurbished buses are looking excellent. Far cry from those repaints back in 2010.

There are many 41x Trident's that could have a little tidy up.

They won't be repainted so chances are they'll be left as they are till their imminent withdrawal.

the original WA ones are in a f*cking awful state inside, and out for some

Which ones are you classing as original Walsall?

The 188× & 189× are the original Wa ones arent they?

[Liberator9]

Good point there considering a fair proportion of them are actually West Brom's originally (1848 up to 1862).

The ex PB lot are in good condition as would be expected.

Yes, the ex WB ones are the worst and will be done first

Sorry yes my bad, not sure why I thought they were originally at WA when they were from WB, sorry guys my bad, but I mean 1878-1895, havent caught enough 4 brandeds to come to a general concensus but the EX-PB are in a brilliant state.

That's because the ex PB ones were all repainted and refurbed not too long ago.

Good to hear - makes sense as they certainly are the tattiest of the lot.

I wouldn't say that they should be repainted as such, but just tidied up, as they some of them are really really tatty.

Would have thought the Scanias would possibly be next. As Tony said the midibuses are only two years old and not really needed to be repainted.
