@Tony just like with 4651 4722's body style suits the BCT livery well and should look fab once the transfers have been applies. As I asked before are there any plans for any other past liveries to be applied to any other buses when in repaint?

No. This one will be the last one for a bit. It was authorised before COVID, but there are other things for the company to concentrate on at the moment

Best looking one so far

[RW]

Notice that after it's recent repaint 2100 has finally lost its Volvo identity from under the windscreen. Took 8 years for it to disappear. Why do NXWM have such a dislike of manufacturers identities appearing on their vehicles? Personally think it adds something to the vehicle to identify its source.

If anything, this is better than the Volvo which was done.

Certainly is much better than the Gemini

Are there any WB buses planned to be painted in the next 6 months.

[RW]

4722 what an an absolutely superb paint job. I'm sure when in service it will attract many admiring glances not to mention a lot of reminiscing. Well done NXWM. Makes you wonder why we ever let the livery disappear!

838 a full blue repaint?

[Tony]

The lift in the spray booth has been out of action since the last update, so only one new full repaint in this update, but several accident damage vehicles have been patched up properly during this time. There is a big queue of buses ready for painting now, so they should come out one a day for the next week or so.

How long do you think 4927 and 4936 will be till they are back  out?

[Tony]

How long do you think 4927 and 4936 will be till they are back  out?

What's the rush for you with Wolverhampton's buses?
I've no idea. They will return when all the work is done on them. Things slow down during this time of year due to staff on holiday, and concentration on getting buses in service ready for schools

[don]

Is 4927 an accident repair as it's listed in vehicles in Crimson and vehicles in for repaint?
