The repainting and refurbishment is a requirement of the BEE network contract, contract conditions set by a public body and the Mayor.

Though that would be preferable to battlership grey

The Berries Versa has definatley gone for scrap. Don't think the Green Arrow has been reported as going for scrap yet.
6062 is at Thorntons apparently.

Probably doesn't help that in the time period since Go North East received the Wright Streetlites that Wright Bus had gone bust and is now under new ownership. Though I wouldn't though it be too difficult to get the engines direct from the manufacturer (Cummins / Daimler depending on which Streetlite is knackered), probably more costly. Alternative is to get some Streetlites cheap off the second hand market and chop them up for parts.
