Repaints and refurbishments 2019

[Ashley 60171]

How come WN's B7RLE'S return from "refurb" with dirty interiors, re-trimmed seat squabs that aren't the same size, damaged seat backs that haven't had the damage rectified and tip up seats that haven't been put back on straight? In one case, one tip is seat was a good inch and a half higher than the one next to it

Also, when are the crusty interiors on the hybrids going to be tidied up?

[uniquicity]

The garage involved will do it because of a vehicle swap, it will not be because all remaining vehicles are painted

Bear in mind I don't live in the West Mids now so am out of touch  but I would think Streetlites to PB, 762-4 to the Black Country and 4777/78 to the paint shop?

[Gareth]

4779 is already out in service. Spotted on the 67 earlier. Looks much better than red/white or red/white/blue.

[Jack6101]

The comment mentions red & white livery. Could also be Coventry who have some red and white E200s

Maybe the street lites to pb

What fleet numbers are you referring too Ashley?

When you say "crusty", what do you mean? Granted, some of the lighter blue interiored ALX400 bodies look terrible as they've worn considerably over the years, but didn't think the Hybrids and their interiors had suffered the same way.

[Solo1]

How come 4779 missing the  fleet name on the sides

[Tony]

How come 4779 missing the  fleet name on the sides

Because they don't fit

When it says 'repairs' to 5412, is that just to paint the panels at the rear o/s that seemed to be unpainted at Hull?

And a few more new panels replacing ones taken off for use on other buses whilst it was dead

5412 now back at WN, hopefully back in service soon
