Are any of the buses in paint going into the new dual grey scheme? Has the paint booth be fixed to paint the deckers again?

On that list - only 871
874 has replaced it in paint which is the only other one.

The deckers are there for touch up after RTC repairs

For sure 871 couldn't claim to have the 'wow' factor appearing in its 'new' livery. Going to take more than a vertical blue stripe to be able to make that claim.

Is 2206 being repainted into two tone grey/red stripe livery?

Yes, along with 2001 (&2002 that arrived last night)

[Jack]

Are they having a refurb inside or is just exterior?
AG E200's are a state outside, and inside for some.

[Tony]

When have you known an NXWM bus get a new livery without getting an interior retrim

So the B7's are too? Don't exactly think their seats would be as worn out as the MMC's.

Quite a lot actually, plenty of Tridents that got repainted into red/white back in late 2014/early 2015 never got one at all and still had their original interiors. The likes of 4370, 4550 and 4588 still have their original seats as well a nice mix/match of other moquette.

Is there any hope E400 repaints may start again anytime soon? 

[Tony]

so, not for 8 years.

Of course E400 repaints will start as soon as the new booth is fitted at Walsall. It will also be able to tajke 15m coaches.

Any idea when Walsall will have the new booth?

Tony, I've probably missed a post somewhere but what's the position regarding the 'new' grey livery with red/blue stripe that's being talked about on here?  Are all repaints coming out of Walsall in that livery or only certain vehicles? Is the 'platinum' livery being abandoned and all vehicles will appear in grey in future?
