I haven't seen it since it came out of the body shop... Is it in service yet?

67663 has finally gone to the paint shop today and 67647 is back indoors for the rest of the vinyls to be fitted.

This was it tonight. Note the pile of seats on the right...

Wow that looks amazing Adam with branding the E300s really do suit the Urban 2 livery very well.

67647 has had all the seat covers replaced today. It is waiting for the Worcester vinyl on the front panel but we're out of stock. I was told that it's going to a show on Sunday...

67647 was in service today at Worcester... Seen personally at 0830 with Chris 'Zippy' Matthews at the wheel at Lowesmoor... Looks the Bogs Dollox :twisted:

Just seen 67647 on a Worcester-bound 144 through Wychbold, absolutely pinned flat out then braking hard for the roundabout, great sight and sound ;)
