The repaints started as soon as the schools broke up for summer, way back in July, and I think it was expected that two would be completed per week (12 buses divided by 6 weeks holidays = 2 per week).
The repaints were delayed somewhat due to some of these buses being re-deployed elsewhere in the fleet to cover for absent Volvo B7TLs when the Glasgow Games were on, in addition to various buses being VOR (the Tridents are seemingly notorious for having engine issues). This is why, one month into the new school term, we're still seeing the Tridents undergoing repaint.
Shame cause they could do with a repaint....
I made a list on here which ones were due to a repaint.. i can't find it plus some of the buses on it has being repainted...
