The seat backs on 2022 haven't had the etchings and lighter burns removed. So much for a refurb. Looks mint on the outside though!

Just a repaint?

[Gareth]

Just a repaint?

It's had all of its lower panels replaced too. They are now flat compared to the unrepainted ones that have a groove in them.

[Jack]

Will 4289 ever get its touch-up repaint? Only asking as it looks an absolute mess compared to all the others at PB which have repainted.

Can ask the same for 4260. 4260 is very pink on the front and still got the connection bars.

Tony said that all ALX400 repaints would happen after the 4th June transfers.
4226 at AG and 4253 at WB look a mess as well.

I'd throw 4249 into that mix also

[Westy]

After the Scanias, which of the Walsall fleet will get Crimsoned next?

[Jack]

After the Scanias, which of the Walsall fleet will get Crimsoned next?

Maybe the Urban 2's? The Omnilinks probably won't be done by the end of this year?

So does 4275 at WB. 4251 looks very neat with its connection Bars and refurbed interior.

[Ashley 60171]

Just a repaint?

Nope, a refurb thats just 95% complete.

Not the first time vandalism has been missed in the process. 1643, 4348 spring to mind.

[Tony]

How about 4289 Tony? I believe it is our last B7TL with them (not including 4253) unless it has gone in for repaint already

It has the remains of the bars above the lower windows from its lower repaint a few years ago

4226, 4233, 4251, 4253, 4257, 4260 and 4289? all still have the connection bars

4233 now at Walsall for a quicky red/white
