Perhaps repainting any remaining red Northern buses if indeed the repaint is to increase their sale value should be a higher priority like the renowns which still got the 'Northern' fleet names than buses that have only been repainted 2 years ago.

This is the basis for discussion in BusUser's post - he appears to be suggesting that removing the Northern identity from the entire fleet on buses which haven't been repainted in four years should be prioritised over buses which were repainted just over two years ago...

Worst thing I noticed 38 solo was like sardines all rest had 2-3 passengers. Also I noticed 548 on 238 this morning now on 39 didn't think they interworkedThere isn't, but obviously they aren't timetabled to turn up like that - more evenly to provide what is almost a 5 minute combined frequency.
