There'll only be the essentials done. Old brands into corporate and that'll be it I'd imagine. Doesn't make financial sense to spend money to paint a bus in the current climate unless absolutely necessary.

I reckon the 9 branded Mercs will fall in to that category. Seen some appearing on the 35 and obviously those still working the 9 will need adaptations too. 
Whether they have a full repaint or just have the vinyls removed (with associated sticky grime) is anyone's guess.

Edit: followed 5336 earlier and although the bodywork was questionable in places, the removal of its vinyls hadn't appeared to have left too many remnants, if at all. The silhouettes were still on of the people, but other branding associated with the 9 brand seemed to have gone.

 I doubt they'll go through the effort of repainting the Citaros again, especially when they'll probably not be here that much longer. I'd imagine they'll just do what they did with the 49 and just remove the vinyls.
With a couple of the 49s, removing the vinyls removed the paint underneath so you could see the bare metal, I'd imagine even in cases like that they'd just touch it up rather than do a repaint

Following the permanent PVR reduction on the Coaster service from 1 June, former "Big Days Out" branded Hybrid 6069 has now been repainted into the 2019 fleet livery.

It has just left Saltmeadows, to return to Percy Main.

That's such a shame. I think that was everybody's favourite livery!

I would imagine... 6068 and 6070 will follow?, i would imagine the 3 spare ones will replace older deckers at Percy Main.

Its hard to guess what buses, because the fleet lists are still all over. Tongue


Edit:


It's good to see repaints have started!

The PVR is 13, not 12.

As 6064 is still away for hybrid conversion, no further buses are planned to be repainted at this time (as without 6064 there's 13 branded for a PVR of 13). Realistically there's more than one Hybrid off the road every day anyway, so 6069 didn't need to be done, it was only done because it was crying out for a repaint.

As much as I dislike black buses, I always liked the look of the night 56 and night Angel, probably due to the contrast between the bright and dark colours

To facilitate some of the routes earmarked for an upgrade to X-Lines, will the Fab 56 PVR & Frequency likely be reduced in the long term going forward?

This would free up 3x out of the 15x vehicles available at Deptford.

Website just says until demand returns, they're running every 15 minutes BUT i wouldn't rule out it staying every 15 minutes after everythings back to normal. More people might work from home.. although Nissan is opening soon, so the 50 and 56 might be busier than now.
