[I love Walsall buses]

@Tony I thought 1772 was already in. Crimson livery

[John]

@Tony I thought 1772 was already in. Crimson livery

As most panels were missing when it came back from repairs, it needs another repaint

Is 4535 the third heritage livery?

[markcf83]

Is 4535 the third heritage livery?

I thought there was only the one done so far.....

[Jack]

I thought there was only the one done so far.....

It was stated that there were to be some more in heritage colours, not just 4601.

[MW]

I thought there was only the one done so far.....

There's the Coventry Trident. Then the Walsall Trident. If this is the third, then there'll be a Wolverhampton Trident.

[John]

I thought there was only the one done so far.....

Don't forget 4453

[I love Walsall buses]

Don't forget 4453

isnt that the coventry trident @MW was talking about if im not mistaken

[Jack]

Yes, 4453.

[paulb1973]

I haven't seen 4839 in Cov yet - but does it wear the same tone of blue as 4841 (i.e. the lighter shade) ?

[CL]

I've been thinking... If 4535's repaint does appear to be the Wolverhampton heritage livery, it'd be nice to see it join 4601 at Buses Festival! Along with 4453 ;) Why not?

It appears NX have already submitted a number of their buses to attend this year's event. According to the Festival's website - in addition to 4601, there'll be a Platinum; a Streetdeck; 3225 & 2957 in attendance!

And unrelated to the topic, but I'm looking forward to seeing some preserved ones there too! (669, 1707, and 4001!)

[Michael Bevan]

Looks like you've missed 4862 off your list @Tony. It was out this afternoon on what I think was it's first day out in crimson. It did an X51 into Birmingham and 937 to Brownhills West on an afternoon peak board.

[I love Walsall buses]

Doesn't Walsall have 4606-9
