Hi

Interesting that you have heard that I must say.

There have been a lot of options put forward looking at fleet standardisation across the Midlands and that is on one of the options - by no means decided upon.

Is anything going to be done about them? Compare them with NXWMs 56 plate Volvos, the Commanders are an embarrassment alongside

We are refurbing some of them but I am looking at how we can get them retrimmed ahead of the repaint.
