(11 Nov 2016, 10:23 am)Dan Yes - the team of painters at Saltmeadows Road can only paint one bus at a time. Several can be prepared for repaint at any one time depending on other work which needs to be done - 699 is visible in the photograph below having been sanded down prior to repaint. I would imagine repainting 699 and 700 will be treated as a low priority as it is more urgent to get 6143, 6145 and 6146 in service (due to the non-DDA double-decks they will replace needing to be out of service by 31st December 2016).

Go North East: 0556 / NK53TKU by Daniel Graham, on Flickr
I believe the four remaining Solo SRs (691 - 694) are due to be delivered to Go North East next week, and again, these are likely to be treated as a greater priority than 699 and 700.
Ah right, shame they can't do more than one.
Ah cool, what about 697 (YJ59 NNH), has that arrived yet?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
