(17 Oct 2015, 10:12 pm)S813 FVK Somewhat a bit of a rarity to see them still in the orange livery. Should get through the 3 remaining vehicles in time (either that or temporarily withdraw them like they did with 5234-5242 while they did driver familiarisation and repaints). Mind, there are the remaining solars to repaint green - think it was said that it takes around 2-3 days to repaint a bus and there is only a week to go before the changes.
I think the Citaro's might go the same way as the Scania's did when they were repainted in to orange for the Tynedale Express.... the 3 Citaro's won't be needed in service straight away (the ones which are still "Diamond"), wouldn't be surprised if all 5 of those Citaro's which are going signal blue are temporally withdrawn while the rest are repainted and hopefully branded.
As for the others... i would imagine branding will start to go up a notch so they can try and get most buses branded ready for changes... although its unlikely all of the buses will rebranded for the 25th October.
The Highwayman Scania's......... Don't think they can withdraw them temporarily so they'll be done one by one....
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
