It makes sense to repaint the bus while it's there anyway, as a partial repaint would only take a day to prep and paint. As I said before, the re-trimming process would take a lot more time.
As 6122 was an 'unscheduled' repaint, it wasn't re-trimmed. The same may apply to 6128, given that the priority will be to have 6143 - 6146 ready for service as soon as possible.
Ah thanks - if i am completely honest, i was surprised at them starting on the rear repaints so quickly, not thinking that it could be due to being there for something like body repairs.
