I'm sure Tony has stated that all full repaints now will be in grey.

That is correct

Can it be confirmed what the lowest numbered/ oldest saloon and double-deck vehicles are that will be eligible for repainting in glorious grey?  I'm guessing the Scanias of both flavours won't be, and nothing with a life expectancy under five years?

I think Yardley Woods Enviro 400 tridents

Yes, 4718 et al, I had thought that, but wondered if there's a push to replace/ retire at or as close to 15 years of age as feasible, which would render these vulnerable.

Actually it's the 61 plates and younger, when the paint shop is finally ready for double deckers, it's been unable to do any deckers for a while.

It's any bus that needs a full repaint. 
Only the newer ones will get a refurb,  but any full repaint will be grey

Is there an eta to the beginning of the decker repaints?

This thread is 2 years out of date... Hasn't a new repaint one been made or is it just in the vehicles away from home thread?

[markcf83]

Felt it only fair that, given one hadn't been created,to create a thread for repaint news from this year onwards. More than happy for Tony to alter the heading if needed.

All blue buses will be painted out, but at the moment it is looking like on 4880 upwards will get a refurb if repainted
