67657 is now in the body shop and it looks like it is having a repaint prep.
Back from the paint shop in Urban 2 livery today.

Strange how things change. I was waiting at the lights at the Bull Ring earlier and saw a solo in the old mostly white livery - it almost looked out of place!

Anyone know if any of the tridents 33401-5 (hopefully not 33404) will be repainted?

Nothing has been said to me about these being done. 33405 would have been a prime candidate as it's just been fitted with a new front end following accident damage. The body work is now finished and mostly painted but back to the original livery. When I saw it tonight it was just waing for the new bumper to be painted blue.

Meanwhile, 67657 is back on the road in it's new livery but has not been fitted with any vynals, not even fleet numbers.

67657 was taken off the road this morning to have the vynals fitted. It now has fleet numbers and the usual "Worcester" names. Nothing else yet, but it's still parked in the body shop so maybe there is more to come.

I just noticed 67664 on the 37 route this morning, it just said first, Are they not putting the Midland Red back on it or are they sending it to be put in the new livery?

How about a thick white strip above the windows with SEVERNLINK and MIDLAND RED WEST logos?
