6703 has never had an all over AD. Don't think NX would throw one on a Platnium.

[John]

2067 is in - unless it's already completed and back at WN?

[mranon]

As some of you have seen on Facebook, 3225 is now at Walsall for repaint.

2059 is the other WN bus currently in

4628 is ready for collection by BC completing Trident refurbs.

Would be amusing if it went in for crimsoning! Haha

That would be sacrilege.

It would be nearly old Midland Red livery!

There is currently a former Midland Red Daimler Fleetline DD12 at Worcester garage in from Wythall that is having mechanical work done in the hope of getting it back on the road as a regular runner. The DD12 fleet number 6015 my well have met 3225 in actual service in Birmingham at some point 50+ years ago so it is nice to see these classics both still around.

3225 hasn't had a repaint since 1995 (22 years) and while it still looks very smart at a distance there are a couple of knocks, corrosion and places where the paint has fallen off, so it will be nice to have it looking as close to perfect as you can make the exterior of a 63 year old bus look

I have noticed no west brom buses at Walsall for refurbs hasn't been for a while , then I think of the garages fleet nothing needs doing i assume, 4200s that were forgotten about wont get a look in, scanias are all done as to Enviro 400 tridents, I can't see the 4900s being done till 2019 , maybe the early enviro 200s possible or will these be treated like the ALX400 B7TLs on the constant back burner.
