Repaint & Retrims 2018

[Westy]

In the long term, is it just going to be repaints into the WMB livery, or are we still having crimson as well?

(It will be interesting to compare the Diamond repaints & Nx repaints into the Wmb livery & how they last long term.

Dont forget Walsall had an improvement to the paintshop not so long back, which I suppose will stop the red becoming pink overtime. Does Diamond's paintshop have the same quality as Walsall paints?)

[Squiz1971]

Guess we'll have to wait and see what the final result will look like... Grey roof seems unlikely, as it looks as though the livery itself has been completed. But who knows?

There's a Wolverhampton trolleybus in preservation, no? FJW 616, I believe. I'd love to get a photo of all three buses (from different eras) together!

I have a picture of BCLM's WCT trolleybus on my flickr page @CL

[markcf83]

West-I'd suspect there will be a mix of the two.

You've got a long wait we're still waiting for 4520 to come out for the last 6-12 months.

Also what happened to possible 1461 becoming a trainer. I did really hope so. She was a great machine at Walsall.

There are 3 vehicles held at Miller Street for future conversions if needed including 4157 & 1461

[2900]

On the subject of west broms heritage bus livery I think one of the 4900s that were delivered brand new here would be an ideal candidate for job, the other earlier 4900s are from Perry Barr or central I think. Just an idea I,m sure most would agree

It went back to Coventry earlier. I managed to photograph it passing through Walsall on it's way back.

Wouldn't it make more sense to paint the other 61 plate E400s at Coventry before the ones that have already had a repaint?
