It's not really practical to remove or mask tyres prior to painting, and you can usually gun wash it off anyway.

8245 is the next vehicle to enter the paintshop - should go in tomorrow providing they got all of the prep done today. I'd assume it's coming out in red!
Told you the painters were going to be kept busy, Michael! |

Repainting the vehicles red is a good opportunity for the vehicles to be allocated to a different service too - but I guess we'll have to see what comes of that..! |

(29 Apr 2014, 8:45 pm)G-CPTN wrote https://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/14062058702/ That's 7079, not 8245? 7079's repaint was originally noted here four days ago. It was confirmed by me that this repaint was being done to the coaches to introduce a new driver training livery, instead of the current mis-match of various coloured coaches. We've now moved onto 8245, the latest vehicle to arrive at Saltmeadows for repaint. 8245 only arrived at Saltmeadows this afternoon (having previously been at Riverside for maintenance work alongside most of the other vehicles in the "South Tyne" batch). I've suggested that this vehicle will be repainted red (corporate livery) tomorrow, providing all of the prep got done today. |

Don't know if its just me as the angle of the photo isn't great but 546 looks to have had its off-side Venture logo removed at the back:

The solution, he had been told, was swop the cadets for the ex pulse b10's, which are much more reliable. The cadets would then be used at riverside on 67/69 and 95/96/64, meaning that when a breakdown occurs, riverside could attend much quicker. |
