For the TVT, would GNE not have been better waiting until seeing if the Cobalt & Coast EV bid is successful? They've already been done to a high standard and would've just been a repaint or partial repaint job.
Unless GNE have potential plans for them elsewhere within GNE/EY or other GAG Op-Cos?

Idk where to put this and idk if it is known but the BlueStar Citaro's seemed to have been re-trimmed with the GO moquette. I have only seem 5481/5486 so idk how recent this was.

The enthusiast page stopped being updated, it seems to me, round about the same time as the fuss broke out in the local press about the amount of money being spent by GNE on new liveries on vehicles. It was argued in the local press that the money could have been better used to give GNE staff a better pay rise. Maybe it was felt that publicizing the amount of reliverying going on would strengthen that argument.
I could be completely wrong, of course.

Wasn't it something to do with the person who updates the enthusiast page also being the person who does the timetables (or something like that), so they have more important things to do at the minute?
