4737 has now come out of the paintshop and is back in service on an afternoon peak board. It's just about to leave Walsall on the 16:04 997 to Birmingham.

2133?
Considering there's no more WMB routes (for now) it's clear there's no more!

Bearing in mind, theres red & whites with Wmb fleetnames about, thought there some be more?

Jack

Freshly repainted 1896 is out on the 952.

Nx Sam

It's been out since last Sunday 1896 on 952

I was wondering earlier, why are the BC B7RLEs being done now? Surely there are others ahead of them like BY's Scanias for example? Being older vehicles and all, I thought that was how it worked?
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

The BC B7RLE were new in 2012 and were pink and faded before repaint.
The BY Omnilinks still look relatively smart in comparison and other than 1833 these were done some time after the B7RLE had entrered service in 2013 - 2014, they were also some of the last buses to be repainted into NX Red and White. They were not new in that livery, they were new in the toothpaste livery - at LH and PB on the 97 and 16.
Local Routes
94/95, 11A/11C, 28.

Are Bordesley buses getting repainted crimson this year?
