478 was in service in Interurban Livery today and I'm sure it was 448 which look as if it had just left the Paint Shop in Belle Isle. That just leaves 480 and 474 to be re-furbished. 474 was still in service last week. 478 returned at the end of last week and 448 begining of this week. 480 and 474 both left midweek to be refurbished.

Penfold 474 back in service in Interurban, anyone know if 480 is yet complete in the revised livery etc? It (480) was sat in the yard Thursday having just returned that afternoon. It was still awaiting fleetnames adding. Seems to have taken rather a long time to complete the refurbishment of this, the final one !. I believe it has taken well over 3 weeks to complete ! Penfold

The final two 474 and 480 have taken much longer than the rest to complete, I made it 6/7 weeks since I last saw either in service.
I kept thinking I was just missing them until yesterday when 474 looked as if it had only just returned to service.
I'm sure in between ALX400 674 was re-furbished but to a different style than the ALX300's

Finally seen 480 back in Service in Interurban Livery this afternoon.
That's the final one of the batch to be completed and return to service.
Be Interesting to see if any other types like the ALX400 Volvos at Castleford, and those recently transfered to Selby, like 674 see some kind of refurbishment as well as a external repaint

Yes, 674 has been done about 6 weeks ago as I got on it about 2 weeks ago and I heard that they were getting refurbished ages ago.

Will be intersting to see what does happen to the ALX400's at Castleford Castleford appear to allocate 3/4 ALX400's rather than any Spectres to the 163/6 on a daily basis Mon-Fri. The 3 unbranded Tempo's on a general basis appear on the 156/9, see what a bit of competition can do! If any more of the ALX400's get re-furbished we might need a new thread
