Are buses ever painted at WB, saw a 51 plate trident heading towards WB garage at lunchtime, had several new panels on it? Couldn't get the fleet number.

[Ashley]

I think WB has a small paint unit

Was it definetley a 51 plate trident or was it a B7TL ALX400? The only 51 plate trident that i can think of that is due for repaint is if 4312 has transfered to PL and put in for refurb/repaint

[Ashley]

Or 4314, as thats away for refurb

Oh ok :) Wasn't aware 4314 was in for refurb so it may have been that

So WN have loaned two buses out to 2 different garages today then? Along with 4587 on the 9?

Yes. Iirc PL have loaned buses to WB before including Mercs and i briefly remember an Excel being on the old 410 and a WN Transbus (46**) i think it was a few years back on the 88 although i can only recall only Mercs being on loan to PE from PL. Can't ever recall a WN trident being loaned to PE before today

I would imagine that if any garage has the odd vehicle to spare at present it's WN

[Stuharris 6360]

Wonder why WB are so short of buses today?

[Sh4318]

4509 was rattling like hell earlier (might have been the window) caught it on the 89
