Irrelevant posts will be removed by moderators to keep the thread 'tidy'.


Continuation of conversation in WB Garage thread.

4741 has a First sticker and I mentioned my slight sadness that 4312 lost a TWM window logo.

The Metros, especially Walsall ones seemed to have had a bob or two spent on them a couple of years before they finished service. As a younger spotter I thought these spruce ups looked good, each was unique.

4277's doors have that little 'National Express' logo on them; I usually identify 4277 with the doors..

IIRC, (ex)PE Trident Enviros - now at PB - had their own individual traits, which some spotters would've used to identify a particular; I notice:
4817 - named; obviously
4819 - hasn't got the newspaper basket
4826(?) - had a blue high-backed seat cover; mismatched upon the dark greys
etc...

4927 has an odd Crimson seat at the back, downstairs

There was one on the Suttons that had a President squab downstairs from new.

Speaking of Metrobuses I always wondered why they started to lose their front upper deck windows?

I'm baffled, what do you mean by losing their front upper deck windows?

One of AGs Presidents has the old stagecoach moquette on one of the seats in the Wheelchair area.
I saw that one towards the end of 2015.

If you look at Tonys picture of 2988 on the PB 28 it has a front upper deck window.
However if you look at Tonys picture of 2988 on the 11A it dosen't
