Been told by someone that 4431 has been repainted, is this true? TIA.

EDIT: Turns out it hasn't, disregard.

Thanks for the update, must have been there a while as if they are taking the centre door out of her.

I heard a rumour in the summer that it is now withdrawn for spares, but I just don't think it is true.

I know for a fact that 4434 has a door from 4412 or 4420, and I noticed in July that 4629 had a rear back window from one of the Enviro400s that could've possibly came from 4412, 4629 doesn't have the back window anymore as I noticed it had been replaced again when I saw it a month or two ago.

Thanks, I know 4412 had been a problem child for quite a while and gone through several engines I half wonder if 4699 if its get converted may be a replacement.

The centre door is staying as the bus is only going to be used on rail replacement and events transport , its only getting a repaint and seats retrimmed.

It spent a while off the road when it was at Green Lane too. IIRC it was due to a failed compressor
