I notice a number of long term off road LTs from various companies have returned to service over past few weeks. Is this a requirement for refurbishment? If so, good to give the companies a little motivation to get things fixed. Many needed various parts. I am guess that they have been delivered and repaired.

The moquette on refurb LT20 doesn't look much different from the original moquette.

They're also reported methods relating to some LTs 'temporarily cannibalised' for their parts so as to keep their roadworthy sisters going, the new parts then utilised to return cannibalise LTs back into service.

Hello everyone, I am aware that there is already a refurbs thread, but due to there being 1000 NRM’s I thought it be better if there was a thread dedicated to the refurbishment of these buses, instead of clogging up the current refurbs thread.

Can we get this thread pinned, and maybe review 2 or 3 of the existing pinned threads, as you don't want too many.

Spotted LT96 repainted. Didn't board it though, so can't say on setting. I assume safe to say was also done.

Sorry if this is a really daft question but are the LTs being refurbished by age or contract renewal? If by age could we see returning buses replacing others that go off for refurb so maybe not returning to the garage they came from - a bit like how the original RMs used to get swapped around.
An example the ones from AV were not assigned to a tender just covering the 111 until it moves but some have gone for refurb?

Doubt it, more than likely to go back to the same company, as it would need CCTV etc to be changed over to operator spec, plus blinds

Yesterday lunchtime (04/03/22) I saw a freshly painted LT87 going eastbound along Feltham High Street.

Surprised to read that LT20 has received a all over advert this soon after refurbishment especially as adverts can damage the paintwork when removed.

Are particular buses selected for 'general' all over ads or is it more or less the first one that happens to be available?

Sometimes it is particular buses, especially if the advert frames have been removed, makes it easier and quicker for re-application.
