I swear Acocks green still have remaining red and white scanias and 4658 which is red and white?

No idea what you mean but Perry Barr have a lot of Red and White Scanias and Walsall may still have a couple.

Double decks can't still be done can they?

4658 was repainted iirc in the old livery because of the 4718 cut off point (double decks). I think it was discussed here at the time.

It's obvious that the WN, PN, WA and WB E200s are being done as priority currently - presumably PB and AG Scanias will go through when they can be spared (maybe more will be freed with the school holiday timetables). You could imagine the two WA Scanias being dealt with when the last couple of their E200s are finished.

Maybe 2201-31 will follow those.

I'm sure Tony has a plan for all this which we know will not be disclosed apart from as vehicles go through the shop - but you can see how it's being dealt with just from observation - as I queried before, completion of the double deck fleet repaint must also be high priority when they can be done and no doubt the cascade of blue vehicles from CV, as their fleet is renewed with zero emission will figure somewhere in due course also.

From the photos posted the earlier Platinums and 6101-48 (now 6 yrs plus old) look ok, if not good, externally - certainly nothing like the awful faded pink peril 4801 etc when at PN. The single deck equivalent 2201 onwards look a bit more faded though (2232-50 have already been repainted).

The deckers can't be done yet as the lift in the Paint shop not working there was a post on here about it

Yes, Tony said they had a fix enabling single deckers only to be fully repainted at the moment, which is why I said in respect of double deckers "when they can be".
