Yes, and it will be PB 4482

4482 will actually be the 506th vehicle to be repainted - repaint list from 20th Feb corrected with thanks to @uniquicity , Winston

I saw a Coventry B7RLE approaching Walsall town centre earlier, too far to ID from my bus but looked like a new repaint heading home.

Sweet! I was wondering for a while if we'd ever see an E200 in crimson, since it does suit the E400's really well.

A quick observation @Tony but should 2201- 50 now be split between YW & AG now as half of them is it, have now moved to YW or is it too much hassle as  they were new to AG originally. Just wondering that's all?

Sorted!

Why paint one of the newer ones? The older ones (62 plates) look worse compared to the 64 plates. I'm excited to see an E200 in Crimson.

Because it makes commercial sense, you will see why soon
