Are there going to be more Wmb repaints?

[Jack]

Are there going to be more Wmb repaints?

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

[MasterPlan]

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?

The ominlinks was done In 2013/4 and the b7rle have never been done so are first in line

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.

[Jack D]

Are Bordesley buses getting repainted crimson this year?
