Impressive only WA 2117 & 2119 to go in and long await 1893. Hopefully E200 will be next.

Is 1833 going for a repaint anytime soon? It's the only Scania in the Bordesley 18xx series that has the NX logo on the white part of the bus. It just looks odd.
P.S are there any Scanias or any other vehicles that still have the National Express grey lines running down the far end of the bus?

1833, despite being an almost orange shade externally, is in very good condition internally. It had a retrim into grey a long time after the rest of that batch, keeping its blue seating after first repaint to red and white. Maybe they're waiting to get their money's worth out of the seating first before sending it for refurb.

Obviously it's going to be sometime before the entire operational fleet will be crimson/blue/Platinum, due to gradual withdrawals of the red & whites that won't be repainted, but is there a projected date for completion, or is it in the 'lap of the gods'?

All but some of the AG and WB volvos have been trapped so they will last a couple more years.
Same with some of the YW 43xx .
The remaining red and white Gemini's will probably be next along with the untrapped YW tridents and the untrapped Volvos.
We are sadly approaching the end of another era for these buses. Miss the 0405ns already especially the 15xx-1630 series.

All of 4382 - 4390/4392 - 4394 are trapped. They are regularly on the 49 and 76 in Solihull. Which Tridents do YW have that aren't trapped?

The ex-wolves red and white tridents.

Do you know what you're talking about?

All of YW Tridents have traps

[Trident 4609]

The ex-wolves red and white tridents.

They are all trapped. That was the whole point they were swapped with 43** Tridents, they're over a year younger so have more life left in them, so they were swapped and 43**'s were sent to WN where they is currently no emission regulations, some of these have since been retired.
