Iv heard that 4120 is at St.Helens for referb mate thats all I know for the timebeing !

4120 is receiving a front end only repaint as per 4127 and 4128 which were P&P'd in tandem previously. Like its two previos sisters in overall advertising livery, it is also undergoing full internal refurb. 4116 is another B7TL from Speke undergoing full P&P at the moment.

Had a look round today and this id whats at st helens:

OUTSIDE
7563,2273,2274,2328,3617,2721(parts being removed),2450(half stripped),3344,7622,2424(rta damage),2439,4073,4061,4059,4076,2407,4056,2814,2816.
BODY/ENGINE SHOP
2510(Engine),4464,3329,4403(under going refurb),4405(under going refurb sporting a new silver livery and some sort of tv upstairs),2346.
PAINTSHOP
CX05 AAJ,CX54 CPJ?,4125,2521(Ithink

Shame to see 2721s final fate being scrap, I'd have thought it was possible to be repaired but obviously it's age has played a part in it's final decision.

Cheers for the update, MM. It appears 4125 will be the first B7 to receive two Interurban repaints, while Aberystwyth have stood down both of their DLAs. I assume MPDs now work the local University route.

Any time,it looks like its becoming decker city with the 5 DLA's and 2 olimpians.
