Why would 4737 be getting the same treatment, it's already in NX livery?

So was 1896, and that is 18 months newer than 4737.

Tridents need doing before anyhing else some from new no repaint 12 years

But the reds faded and the trim has had no or little attention since it was new, my point is it wouldnt be a matching set thats all

This is the same as 4487 which may be getting another repaint when 4495 returns, that will be the odd one out, and the tattiest Gemini at Perry Barr. I do agree with you Ashley, 4737 could benefit from a refurb to make them all look smart

Ashley 4566

I was also thinking of 4487, but whilst on the subject, another odd one out is 4695 as that didnt get new trim on repaint

So has

1750 1752 1754 1755 1766 1767 1769 1770 1771 1772 1773 1774 1776 1777 1778 1779 1780
1781 1782 1783 1784 1787 all repaint but no Refurb. Should start with 1750 to complete this batch.

Trident 4609

Lynx1103, You say 1767 was repainted but not refurbed but it actually was refurbed into The grey dot moquette

lynx1103

I was a bit unsure about 1767 it was an EX Acocks Green which joined Walsall late 2010

lynx1103

So 1896/4736 are latest repaint/refurbed examples I wonder
What's going in next. Probably 4735 while tridents just stay neglected.

Although EX 51 route branded did have a refurb in 2006 that was 7 years ago
And they now need repain/refurbishment.

Westy

Sister has just got home from Birmingham after first missing one Walsall bound bus.

The next one she got on has apparently caught fire so another collected them.

She's not in a good mood again!
