The movement from one garage to another is perhaps understandable - but I'm not sure about the re-numbering, just makes it stand out even more than would otherwise have been the case, had it stayed as 4816. It is at the end of the day, the same vehicle.

It went straight from being released by the police to Walsall paintshop for refurb

So is BC its new home? Seems unusual as it would be the only one of its type there - unless of course BC is due some of the batch of 60 E400s due this year, which is a possibility.

I wonder if it is a sign of things to come.

Late last year or early this year, there were very faint rumours that either the Coventry road or Pershore Road routes were been upgraded. Maybe Eniro400s are due for these this year?

It would have been parked at Walsall waiting for a refurb or after repaint & refurb. I know the source for the comment about it going to Birmingham Central.

Wait, it's definitely going to BC? That's ridiculous

As has been said before further up in the thread, there must be a reason why it has gone there. Maybe new Enviro400s are going to BC this year. I am only going by what I have read for it going to Central

Well I heard from a very reliable source that it was going to a different garage! Must've been a change of plan

John

I think the best thing to do is to wait and see where it reappears
