(13 Nov 2021, 4:14 pm)Keeiajs They could be used as the dedicated spare for the 9 or 60 for 9062.


Given they’re Euro 6 they’d be more likely to be allocated to Riverside, but they’re not staying.

Seems a bit strange to start doing the 8/78 buses when there’s still Cherry/Blue to paint and Indigo’s to repaint and Red Kite Rangers still going on? Coast & Country to Country Ranger isn’t a massive change of livery/name considering the others are new brands.
PVR for 35 is 8 I think, so I’m guessing it’s 5289-5297, I’m assuming 5292 will be the dedicated spare in Pride Livery. 5304 would make more sense in Corporate for fleet number standardisation, then it can be the spare 61/55. 5323-5326 I’d assume will go blue.

Blone & Silver will be done after the completion of the peterlee purples, Cherry & Blue, I'd thought blue would be done now, atleast it paint work, with the Cherry. And add the decals later. 

PVR for the 35 is 7/8. I think everything annouced so far will be done in late Jan, Early Feb. Atleast i hope so.

It’s all to do with who is painting them.

Each batch were allocated to different suppliers or in-house.

The Red Kite Rangers are all being done by Bus & Coach World (and are all now either back or are away), the Blue and Cherry Citaros are being done in-house at Saltmeadows, the ex-indiGo Solos are being done at Read Commercials and the Country Ranger Streetlites are being done at Gardiners Coach Repairs.

Most of this was committed to months ago, so it’s all just dependent on workload and contractor availability (hence the couple weeks’ gap between ex-Black Cats Streetlite and Country Ranger Streetlite).

Like the Coaster, that colour combo looks bright, fresh and appealing. Nice job.
How did the Red Kite Ranger end up with such dull drab colours.

I agree, all of the liveries that share the same colour in two different shades have far outstripped the sometimes gawdy combinations.. 

The refresh is excellent.
