Quite a bit of inconsistency around what's being retrimmed and having 'red zones' implemented, especially across other areas' fleets too.
Ashington's E400s and Durham's Pulsars appear to have red zones but only have debranded headrests instead of full dark blue pleather.
(31 Jul 2022, 8:35 am)Kuyoyo External repaint
Vinyl Floor around the entrance being replaced
The Streetlites are also receiving a full retrim to the same spec as 1410
Stockton's examples done so-far do however retain their 'Sapphire' internal coving information

(31 Jul 2022, 9:50 am)Jimmi Think all refurbs minus the X93 B9TLs have got the red vinyl flooring at the front in the NE (Darlington's treated gas buses do).
My fears with removing the internal branding (if some of Belmont Sapphire fleet is anything to go by) we'll just end up with cove panels with residue or attempted removal of residue although most of these internal brandings should be removed as most are outdated due to discontinued brands or route details has been outdated for a while now following changes.

Is 7522 being repainted too? Just been off road for a while but it could be something else.

At least 3 are still in original condition.Rumor is that the Ecocitys are being considered to be withdrawn, as they are simply too expensive to maintain, ongoing. Reaching a point in their life cycle that some major components of the gas system need to be replaced (combustion, roof storage tank etc).

Presumably their expected costs are being considered against their book values, which explains why they have stopped their refurbishment work.
