Seen in the bodyshop tonight. For some reason 67663 has not gone to the paintshop in it's place and is seen in the background of the photo.

Saw this pass through St. John's in tandem with 68559 this afternoon.
So proud of it. :D

E'hem. I meant 67647.
I'm surprised the school bus made it as far as it did to fetch the repainted Enviro. :lol:

Looking good, I might reserve judgement till i've seen the front though.

67663 will be the next one painted.

67647 has been fitted with most of the branding, but the white "Worcester" that goes across the front is missing and will have to wait as I think they are out of stoke.

I've seen the front end now and the whole vehicle looks great, it's surprising how much more modern the paint scheme makes it look. Now all they need to do is make sure the repaint programme proceeds quickly so all the fleet is up to date.

It looks as if it is brand new but it is looking absolutely new.

I agree with Matt it does look really smart and looks brand new as well and hope there is more to come
