Just a heads up incase it's been left on the list in error (unless it's returned to the paintshop for some reason?), 4868 has been back in service for at least a week.

Is it getting a retrim also?

I'm surprised how good it actually looks, I think it would have been difficult to apply Metrobus style WMPTE livery to any other type of vehicle in the fleet. I'm pleased it's been done and it looks good even if it is on the type of bus I despise most.

Looks good in the Metrobus style Blue & Cream livery @Tony. Will the transfers be WMPTE or West Midlands Travel?

2080 is back from repaint. It's on the 6 this afternoon

4780 looks superb.

According to a message I've received, 4780 is out at Perry Barr today on the 33. I've been told that it left Pheasey at 10:36 on a 33 to Birmingham. It'll be out all day until the 19:03 33 from Birmingham.

EDIT: I've been told it broke down in Birmingham at around 13:20, and has now gone back to garage.

Think I saw repainted 4834 on Keresley Rd, Coventry in the rain yesterday, so I assume that's back. Don't know if another 48xx has replaced it.

[I love Walsall buses]

2113 is now out of the paintshop and in service

[cris 99]

pictures all over fb yesterday of it on 997

I am a real fan of this livery but I feel that it gets let down by the state of the wheels! I completely understand that this a minor point and not really a significant one! But is there a reason this is? Forgive me if it's an obvious answer and I'm sure cost probably plays a part especially when you see some operators with the chrome wheels but obviously don't have the fleet size NXWM have! Just wondered what other people's opinions are!
