Only other vehicle's I could possible see going into the 2026 livery if they are not doing it exclusive to the new stuff is the 2020 Streetdecks & ADL 400MMC's and others I doubt unless they want to have a spare vehicle for the Core Brand routes in the new livery.
I assume they're just going through the last of the stock of the old vynils?

Won't be long until they introduce the 2026 Adapted livery
Since 5456 got the brighter blue applied. I do hope since there is only a few Adapted vehicles left they do give them the proper 2019 Fleet Livery Blue. Would be nice to have it all up to date

All up to date and ready for the 2026 livery.
5366 & 67 are the next Citaros going into Fleetr Livery - currently in the paintshop.
Imagine 63 wont be far behind.

Shame the Connections 4 is nearly gone. Quite liked the brand.
Hopefully they move onto the CountryRangers at Deptford next then that will finish Washington & Deptford.
Then comes the big Double Decker mess next for the amount that needs done.
- Cobalts
- Crusader
- RedKites
- X-Lines
Is Diamond & The Tyne Valley 10 Still set to go?

Didn't like the first version. Disliked the second one even more.
Meant nothing to anyone.
Can remember the discussion on here at the time and the 'insider' behind the brand wittering on about the logic behind it.
Didn't make sense then. Not sure it still does now.
5461 is now in the 2019 Colours

Not gonna lie. When there is a lot more Electrics floating about and a lot less Diesels are floating about, you will probably be happy to have a bus doing its thrash and that compared to something being mute for an hour.
You will disagree but give it a few years and you will probably think otherwise.

Totally undressed where you coming from im an old school traveller been travelling on buses since the early 80s. Going back to the times of the Leyland Nationals, The superb 85 C reg Leyland olympians (quite a few of which are still on the road through preservation) Also the Express Link 85 C reg MCW express links ( which actually did 95mph down the Washington highway in service 100% genuine) through to the Lynx s the god awful Dennis Darts to nane just a few. I get the thing about the electrics a bit boring and quiet but I can honestly say only the streetlites surpass the Dennis darts as my all time most disliked bus of all time, and they do genuinely make me feel.sick with all the jerking (not down to the drivers)

I would not be surprised if the SuperShuttles were done before the CountryRangers. Really letting the Streetlites hang on by a thread with their branding, really thought they would of been done by now considering how the Drifters & East Durham Explorers are already done. I do wonder how they will approach the Double Deckers if they are going to also work on one brand at a time or just whatever can go in until all the planned brands are gone.
