It’s been in the Swoop and the Roadstripe Fleet liveries. Was that just a partial repaint/vinyl job?

Orbit to Rockets wasnt really a repaint, that was a Vinyl job

5430 is now in the new Prince Bishops base livery, looks like its had a interior refurbishment too.

Feels like they've been repainting them for ages...


I take it 5438 will be repainted in to the brand?


When will we see the Graphite brand dropped?, not sure why they didn't drop the 39B when they lost the contracts and just have a 39 (City Centre to Doxford) and 39A to Pennywell.

As the 39a serves esdale and 39b serves tunstall bank estate.
I agreed the brand needs dropping. The Sunderland and district was a failure imo
