Repaints and refurbishments 2019

[2206]

@Tony

We now have some great heritage livery buses at WN, PN, WA, AG, CV, are there plans for the remaining garages to get one like we had in the 90s?

@Tony posted on the NX Historic Society facebook page there are plans for a WB one.

For those that haven't seen it on facebook, here's Three photos of 4651 in BCT livery, released today

 Looks absolutely brilliant, the BCT livery really suits the Gemini's bodywork. I think the West Brom livery would look great on a Gemini too

[Westy]

Do hope this latest repaint will make an appearance at Aston Manor at some point, so we can get our own photos.

It'll be out and available for photographing most days

To every one involved with the process of making the heritage livery possible, hats off to you all
4651 is a triumph well done. Will another be done bct livery , we did have 2 metrobuses in bct livery back in the 90s,  the heritage fleet really does liven things up long may it continue.
3088 use to get special treatment from certain drivers at Hockley using there own car cleaning gear on it.

819 is out in service had it on the 40 this morning.

Got shot of it this morning  https://www.flickr.com/photos/dofartshavelumps/47309200981/in/dateposted/

It would be great if each Birmingham garage could have a BCT-liveried vehicle, ideally one of each type.

That's a cracking picture. At a quick glance in that light it looks almost like a Dublin Bus example.

Very smart.

It would be easier for me for it to appear at Aston Manor, but fair point.
