Imo there's no point on repainting a bus that'll probably be permanently withdrawn within a few months, which is most likely why they didn't paint it into local livery.

There is nothing to replace them, they'll be back out next year.

Where've you got the idea they're permanently withdrawing them soon - surely if they were it wouldn't have been repaired?

Also, on a different note, I saw it being checked in the depot with the LoLiner logo on the destination display (just now seen pictures of it on Flickr) - somewhat surprised that's still in the list unless they put it there specially.
Also, here's the Local livery plan for it. Kinda hope it'll still happen.
