Good news thanks for the update hope the R/S reg mercs last in service for a while longer yet.

Ashley 4569

If any R and S reg Mercs make it into next year then that would be good, if any T or V reg Mercs make it into 2015 that would be even better

The best of the R&S reg Mercs should do, as there are only 26 x E400's due during the rest of the this year, then than balance of the 300 new buses will follow 2014 onwards

4709 back in service on the 82/87 today, still has the green branding on the rear.

I have it as 4227, 4228, 4230, 4231, 4232, 4248, 4265, 4267, 4270, 4271 - so that is 10

4229 is in for refurb, should be finished shortly, that did have the branding

Does anyone know if 4248 sounds any better lately about a year ago this bus used to over rev like mad and was a bone shaker the worse alx400 I had ever been on mechanical related.

As they seem to be refurbing/repainting the ALX400s I'd say it's likely

Don't think the 934/5/6 branding style would work on the Soho Road ;D

Do you think the 900/957 will receive the similar style branding to the 934/935/6

Just because West Brom are repainting some of their branded ALX400s, it doesn't mean that they will be re-branded. At least it means that West Brom are slowly getting rid of the rubbish green branding
