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.

However 801-830 are significantly older (not Walsall's). Perhaps Walsall's and Coventry's 48xx Enviros will be fairly soon.

1896 isn't tatty, that's not in a terrible state, think it was treated to a repaint a couple of years ago

Yeah 1896 is a good one - was fully refurbished in 2013. Good to have at YW and shame it left to go back to WA. Remember the heating on it was pretty strong, so a good one to have on the Winter mornings!

Vehicles are keyed (scratched) before going into paint

What on earth are you on about?

Sanding the paint down in a body shop is known as keying, not literally keying it as in vandalising!
