Is the Coventry livery being replanned? Just read an article on nxwm liveries and feel that the cream and blue that was considered could look good on CV vehicles, or crimson version of the heritage colours of Coventry?

I think the Trident in old Coventry livery looks good, so a 'crimson' version of that with cream instead of the lighter crimson would look good. There'd still be the problem of Coventry people telling which vehicles have wifi though.

Not if the whole fleet was retrofitted as in other cities!

4251 pictured outside the paintshop today. First WB quick repaint?

Also next to it is a Coventry Transbus Trident. Could it be 4452?

Noooooo! That one was always smart. The paint always went with its interior. Looked smart still aswell. 4251 was the smartest at WB with its connection bars, whereas 4275 looks a right mess and 4274's rear is abit all over the place. Don't get why the didn't start with the more tatty ones first.

@John, 1855 and 4452 are next to 4251.

I don't quite understand why they repainted 1841 in crimson when it looked in an immaculate state compared to 1860 and the other scruffy bunch.

1841's red/white repaint was roughly 3 years ago whereas, say, 1855 had red/white paint from new.

The same for 1837. I'm guessing WA want all their Omnilinks to be Crimsoned ASAP. 1860 doesn't look that bad. 1855 was a mess and 1853 and 1878 look terrible.

Walsall tend to put them into paint just before mot expiry. So they're presented I. Immaculate condition

Kind of strange how bad most of these Scanias look.  When was the last time they were painted?
