BK Enviro 400's will need to be reblinded to contain the new 169 Clayhall THE GLADE blind (Currently only found on 16 reg MMC's), the 179 (Which will move to BK later this year) and the 677 (The blinds currently only found on 16 reg MMC's). Clayhall always had the "The Glade" as a qualifier, it was only removed when the Y-reg Tridents were introduced to the route in 1999/2000. The 11-reg Enviros were not reblinded when the 101 transferred into BK so they may not get done for the 179 or 677 any time soon I think it would be a good idea to update the blinds on the 11 reg E400s so add flexibility on the 179 /677 and N238. As part of tender renewals do refurbishments have to have new WOB blinds?

WH will need new blinds for the 474 in the next few weeks.
Also agree about the 147 @ RR would be good to update these blinds on the E400s and also the WVLs off the 101 need new sets to aid flexibility.

They are receiving new blind but very slowly because a of backlog of blind orders.

If Stagecoach choose to reblind everything then that's good. Bare in mind all the New MMCs are going to WH so that's plenty of buses with blinds for use on the 474. The Green has also been given for LED blinds so bare that in mind too. In regards to the 101 & 147 fleet I would imagine they won't be changed. The amount of blind sets Go Ahead have ordered over the last few montha just to replace existing ones I doubt they'll bother with them and just keep the buses mainly route bound like they currently have been doing.
