We'll have to wait and see, but I think we'll see fewer corporate livery repaints now and more branded vehicles getting repainted.
(07 Oct 2014, 1:27 pm)Dan wrote In line with "Blaydon Racers" branded Mercedes Citaro 5331 being repainted earlier this year, and the shade of red being significantly darker than the much faded former "Red Arrows" branded allocation, the rest of the "Blaydon Racers" branded vehicles are now undergoing repaint.
The first example to have arrived at Saltmeadows for its 'freshen up repaint' is 5275. One example is expected to be repainted each week.
In other news, Dennis Trident 3890 is now at Thorntons for its deep clean.

4845 also sounds terrible
(07 Oct 2014, 5:00 pm)Dan wrote Just a case of finding the time to slot them in, no doubt!
Of course if they had been considering investment for this year, they may have also wanted to put off repainting them. The fact that these vehicles are being repainted (for Blaydon Racers again) suggests that they have no investment plans for these services.
Just been told about another repaint, coming in the form of Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4903. This vehicle will be going into corporate livery, as per the other recent Volvo B10BLE repaints. Probably the last one (excluding the remaining Trident) for a while now...

East Durham MPD's could get re-painted this year, some reason i expect them to get new buses.. last time they were done was 2011 but like most buses being done they were also done in 2011 and like wise it will increase the value when sold.
Do u know the Vykings.. how many more years do u think they have before they are withdrawn?

I would love to know how far from 1st you need to be, before the restriction starts.
Is it as soon as you step from 1st to standard or is there a bit of tolerance?
Keep meaning to try it.

(08 Oct 2014, 1:59 pm)Michael wrote 6 i think
Only 3 branded remain though.

Heard that the first of the fab fifty B10's will be in the paint shop in the next couple of weeks...
(08 Oct 2014, 4:03 pm)Dan wrote The PVR of the Lime at Chester-le-Street Depot sits at seven vehicles at present, and they previously had seven branded vehicles to cover that PVR (4850/51/52/53/54/55/96).
The PVR of the Lime at Stanley Depot sits at six vehicles at present, and they previously had six branded vehicles to cover that PVR (4897/98/99, 4900/01/02).
Now of course the majority of the allocation has been repainted, with just 4853/54/55 remaining in "Lime" livery.
